 @adfbf87b @3967703f aren't cemeteries often sprayed with noxious chemicals? 
 @383c57e5 @3967703f are you referring to herbicides to keep grass grass? Ours does not and often can’t afford to have people mow the grass much less spray chemicals. And even if other cemeteries did, it wouldn’t matter bc people are just collecting seeds for planting. 

The native plants would be planted in specific places in the cemetery such as front office gardens, along borders/entrances, etc. Not where people mow or might spray chemicals. 
 @adfbf87b @3967703f sounds good to me. much less worrisome than collecting stuff to eat. 
 @383c57e5 @3967703f personally, I wouldn’t eat anything grown from a cemetery. I’m not superstitious but too uncomfortable with the thought of it.
