Devon Wildlife Trust Free Tree Hub @ Outside

The Devon Wildlife Trust Free Tree Hubs offer free trees (whips) for planting in private gardens or on any land where you have permission. These are given away at local distribution hubs during the winter months, where you can collect between one and five free cell-grown trees, along with planting guides and tree protection.

As part of National Tree Week, Michael Rogers from The Devon Wildlife Trust will be bringing a selection of native broadleaved tree species grown at their two community tree nurseries. All trees are Devon-grown, collected from seed and nurtured in Devon, including species such as oak, rowan, and crab apple. They are cell-grown and come with their roots in compost, so you can choose to plant them straight away or pot them up until you are ready to plant.

All trees will come with bamboo stakes and spiral tree guards to protect them from deer and rabbits.

This Tree Hub will run from 10am to 1pm at Outside, with 200–400 trees available to give away. The event will be run by our amazing garden volunteers!

Here's Chris to tell you why planting trees is so important...
