Peter Seabrook was buried last week in the Churchyard of St Michael's Church on Galleywood Common, Essex, next to his wife Margaret, who passed two years ago.

Many from the horticultural and media world were amongst the 150 strong congregation at the Service of Thanksgiving where Howard Drury described Peter as "the greatest horticulturalist of all time."

At the gathering that followed the committal, RHS President Keith Weed spoke of the incredible influence Peter had on gardening for all.

In lieu of flowers, donations, if wished, be made to the David Colegrave Foundation, supporting the development of students studying horticulture in the UK and Ireland, or to Alzheimer’s Society c/o T Pennack & Sons, 1-3 Maldon Rd, Chelmsford, CM2 7DW. 

Equally, Peter's family would be delighted for people to plant a tree (and perhaps upload a virtual plaque to www.queensgreencanopy.org) as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy jubilee celebrations.
