How to plant a
tree in your garden

Are you thinking about planting a tree?

Planting trees is one of the best things you can do to help protect our planet. And planting one in your garden is a great place to start.

Trees are the lungs of our planet. They provide cooling shade in hot weather. They’re a home for wildlife. They give us delicious fruits and nuts. They capture carbon, reduce pollution and prevent flooding. And they give us a deep sense of awe and wellbeing.

There are lots of different trees to choose from and these are available from garden centres, specialist tree nurseries or you can have a go at growing your own trees from seed! Spending time choosing the right tree for the right place is well worth the effort and will greatly increase the chances of your tree growing to maturity.
