Rediscover native trees
I’ve used a hedge of native field maple, Acer campestre in the garden. It’s so often overlooked, but it’s a lovely, hardworking plant, with great autumn colour, brilliant for wildlife and tough as old boots. Thoughtfully chosen trees can bring a whole new palette to gardens - plant in a sheltered spot where it will hold onto its leaves for as long as possible. If you don't have room to plant in the ground, consider planting trees in containers.
