John's garden must have a lot of white flowers, representing peace: It must have freesias, representing John and Yoko's love and 'Double Fantasy': And a Peace Tree! - Here's the idea beneath it: The Tree of Peace Over a thousand years ago, the Peacemaker and Aiionwatha (Hiawatha) brought the Great Law of Peace (Kaianerekowa) to the warring Indian nations of what is now New York State. The message of Peace, Power, and the Good Mind resulted in the forming of the Haudenosaunee Iroquois Confederacy. The league of nations consisted of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca, and later the Tuscarora. These nations were instructed to bury their weapons of war under the Great Tree of Peace, and to unite as one to uphold the Great Law of Peace by joining "arms" so that the Tree of Peace would never fall. Planting Trees of Peace In his educational efforts, Jake started to plant trees of peace ceremonially in 1984. The Tree Planting Ceremony that Chief Swamp shares is an effort to bring awareness to environmental and social concerns. Jake’s oration of the Peacemaker and Aiionwatha's success includes principles of peace that transcend culture and can be applied in promoting environmental and social awareness. The Tree of Peace Society often receives inquiries about how the tree planting ceremony is conducted or how an individual or group can prepare for it in their own area. Below are some suggestions in preparing for a Tree Planting Ceremony.

I think John's garden should have nymphaeas: And a lake! Loved the eerie trees, Mrs. O'Boogie:

Well, I was thinking more of birds from John's songs, but we can have a blackbird as a tribute to Paul. And a bluejay for George.

Gotta keep the Beatle family happy, isn't it? John should have a garden where he could meditate:

That's right, Girl! Marmalade skies, maybe? He should have his own river! 'Relax and float down stream'...
