Drought & climate proof trees
Trees in the garden have many benefits. Aside from their beauty, they are good for the environment, coping with climate change and the challenges this presents. Some are very good in drought situations, while others cope well in waterlogged soil, which helps to reduce flooding. And they clean the air through carbon capture.
