Tree Festival – October 2021
We’re delighted to be holding our first festival in 18 months! October is going to be tree-tastic at the Plant Market.
From ornamentals to fruit trees, we will have a range in the nursery and various discounts and offers running throughout October.
We’ll keep you updated but in the meantime, here’s some further information on why we should all embrace the trees!
- There are 30 million gardeners in the UK. If they all planted a medium-sized tree in their garden, or anywhere in their community and let it mature, they would store enough carbon equivalent to drive you more than 11 million times around our planet.
- Many trees produce delicious fruits in summer and autumn – think plums, apples and pears. Even the smallest of gardens can have a fruit tree in a container. As well as giving you delicious fruit, many of these trees also produce pretty blossom, and some offer colourful foliage in autumn too.
- Most trees like a sunny spot where they will produce the sweetest fruits
- They don’t like an area that is too windy or susceptible to frost
- Fun fact – you can make your own tree! Different apple cultivars can be grafted onto an an apple tree so that one tree provides different varieties of apples. Known as a ‘family’ tree, it’s the perfect solution for apple lovers who only have room for one tree
Come along and pick a tree that’s right for you.
