Gardeners are often afraid of trees: their size and power over the garden environment, and their potential effect on the house and other nearby buildings. This course will give you the confidence to make good tree choices for all types of gardens and planting situations. Andy McIndoe teaches you how to garden with trees and why you should plant trees with a guide to choosing, planting and using trees in your garden (including information on trees for smaller gardens). He'll show you how to choose the right tree, plant trees and maintaining trees throughout the seasons. You'll look at ornamental trees, evergreen trees, fruit trees and flowering trees. You'll learn why you should plant trees and what a tree can do for you as part of your garden. You'll also learn about the effect trees have on the space, proportions and atmosphere of your garden. And how to use trees for shade, privacy and screening.
You'll learn:
