the tree grower's guide

I am helping a consortium of tree-loving charities and local councils to produce the ultimate guide to planting trees. An update of the well-loved Good Seed Guide, this book offers practical, tried-and-tested advice on everything a tree grower needs to know, from finding seeds to stratifying and planting them, to setting up your own community nursery.

The book is now available in print and digital formats and we are adding new chapters to the digital edition all the time. Watch out this summer for a new chapter on how to run your Community Tree Nursery as a business.
