Planting
Suggestions
Have a question?
Where can I find out more about what kinds of trees might be suitable for my garden and how best to plant and care for them?




Can I get a free tree to plant in my garden?
The Mayor of London has a scheme offering free trees for planting to Londoners, schools and community groups. Look for updates on this website: https://www.london.gov.uk/
Are there other schemes to supply trees to community groups, schools or other organisations who want to plant more trees?
There are a few other schemes but they do involve a degree of coordination and planning, with application forms to fill in. For example https://www.gov.uk/guidance/urban-tree-challenge-fund or https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/plant-trees/schools-and-communities/
Which local nurseries and garden centres supply trees?

Homebase in Streatham Vale https://www.homebase.co.uk/stores/london/london-streatham-vale
Battersea Flower Station and Florist https://www.batterseaflowerstation.co.uk/
Woodcote Green Garden Centre https://www.woodcotegreen.com/default.aspx
Warning! Try to buy peat free compost for planting your trees and shrubs. And be careful to avoid imported trees that might bring the risk of spreading tree diseases
