Beware of the gardener
December 4th 2007 23:52
Police found a large number of cannabis plants at a convent in Greece. The nuns had no idea what the plants were, thinking they were just 'decorative', trusting that the two men who did the gardening for them were actually gardeners. The men posing as their gardeners were doing a lot of gardening in fact - turning the convent's garden into a marijuana plantation!
Police are on the lookout for the two men, and no charges were laid against the nuns.
I should hope not, I don't believe elderly Greek nuns would even have a clue as to what cannabis looks like but it certainly shows that you shouldn't be out of the loop in this day and age. They could easily have had charges laid against them as well for possession, but as they didn't know what it was and didn't plant it, the police took that into account.
This story would certainly make me more wary of the plants in my garden, if I took any interest in gardening or had a gardener! Those 'gardeners', and I use the term loosely, could by now be off tending some other unsuspecting person's garden!
