The spray is an insecticide that ensures roses are protected from Aphids. Our gardeners will spray every 3 to 4 weeks until Christmas as this will prevent any attacks on the new growth.

06.01.2022 Tibet - The Sky Burial After death the body is handed over to monks, who recite prayers from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. This book outlines the three states that a person's consciousness passes through, before being reborn. Following this, Buddhists in Tibet believe that the body is simply an empty vessel. Due to little space for burial, other options are used. In the case of a Tibetan Sky Burial, the deceased's clothes are removed before the body is tied to a stake. The b...ody is then carried to a high peak, where it provides food for animals and birds of prey. This practice is seen as a way to return to the earth and generously provide a meal for the vultures. Although, sky burials were banned by the Chinese in the 1960s, the practice is now only available to native Tibetans.
