National Tree day is an opportunity to do something positive for your local environment and community and to reconnect with nature. Since it began in 1996 more than 3.8 million people have planted 23 million trees and plants and it's still growing!
To celebrate National Tree Day we are having a "Plant of the Week" and it is one of our favourites...
