A garden without a tree is like a beach without sand.
Trees are the most dramatic features of any landscape, providing form, shade and a habitat for wildlife. The most important think about planting a tree is to think ahead: choose the right spot and don't overdo it, unless you want a forest in ten years time.

The American Forests organization has been protecting trees and encouraging planting since 1875. Read here about how to take action.

Butterfly Puddle Rock

Choose a type of tree to plant according to your space, climate, and sun exposure.

Avoid planting too close to the house to prevent damage from tree roots to brickwork and walls and stay clear of electric wires.

Though it resembles an unearthed piece of granite casually placed in your garden, this faux rock is actually carefully crafted to attract butterflies. A central depression collects rainwater, mimicking the shallow puddles butterflies visit after a fresh rain. Weatherproof polyresin.
