Trees in gardens have an important part to play in addressing the climate emergency.
We've partnered with the National Garden Scheme to get the word out there - that the UK needs more trees.
Trees are a powerful weapon in the fight against climate change. They absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it for centuries - in their roots, leaves and even the soil around them.
They can also help alleviate some of the cruel effects of climate change by:
- Preventing flooding
- Reducing city temperatures
- Reducing air pollution
- Keeping soil nutrient-rich
- Providing havens for wildlife
