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.
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.
