The Tree in My Garden

One tree, in one garden. Can it really make a difference? In RHS The Tree in My Garden, award-winning wildlife author Kate Bradbury reveals the amazing effect planting a single tree in your garden can have – and dares to imagine what would happen if every gardener up and down the country did the same. Combining practical gardening advice, eye-opening scientific research, reflections on the cultural importance of different species, and evocative accounts of how vital trees are for countless different forms of wildlife, this book will leave you in no doubt that every garden needs a tree. To help you choose the best tree for your own garden – or learn more about the tree you already have – the book features a directory of 50 key species, each one beautifully illustrated by Lucille Clerc and packed with information about each tree’s appearance, care needs, and the wildlife it supports. No garden should be without a tree. Plant one, watch it grow – and become part of something bigger.
