Saint Dorothy
Dorothy, the patron saint of gardeners, was martyred because she refused to marry, having determined to live as a Bride of Christ. She held a vision of herself joining with Jesus in a heavenly garden, and is shown holding a basket of apples and roses, which she is said to have sent to a lawyer who was mocking her on her way to her execution.
