Plant Badges Growing in Your Garden

[creagdhubh]

I was just perusing some Clan Young sites and found this "The historical plant badge of the Youngs has been lost over the ages so we have adopted the Yew. Our Clan Crest Badge design comes from the Arms of Peter Young of Auldbar. The site of Castle Auldbar, near Brechin, Scotland, has a remarkable line of Yew that the locals say is over 400 years old. It is gnarled, grotesque, rugged and distinctly a minature forest. It is a survivor and so in honor of that plant, we have taken the Yew as the official bit of flora for the Clan Young."
I need to do some landscaping in the spring. Perhaps I will put in a yew hedge!

Sounds wonderful!
