This is a good time of year to plant a bare root tree , so why not pick a species that is native to your area and good for wildlife and try?

Plant a tree. It brings with it so many benefits, not least being a cool shady spot to sit out the uncomfortable heatwaves that are becoming a more regular occurrence
