Planting with Purpose: Why Trees (and More) Matter in Every Garden

🌳 Planting with Purpose: Why Trees (and More) Matter in Every Garden

At Chew Gardens, we believe that good planting is the heart of a truly meaningful garden. Whether it's a single tree, a stretch of new hedge, or a beautifully designed border, planting brings life, structure, and a sense of long-term stewardship to any outdoor space.

In a time when gardens are becoming not just places of beauty but essential spaces for biodiversity and wellbeing, planting with care and intention is one of the most powerful things you can do.

🌿 Why Plant Trees, Shrubs, and Borders?

Planting is more than a visual upgrade — it’s a long-term investment in the health and resilience of your space. Here's why we’re so passionate about it:

🌍 It helps the planet

Trees and deep-rooted plants improve soil health, store carbon, and support local ecosystems. Even a single tree can play a vital role in cooling the environment and managing rainwater.

🐞 It invites wildlife

Well-planned planting provides food, shelter, and connection points for bees, birds, butterflies, and other vital garden visitors.

🌸 It transforms your space

Plants add colour, texture, and rhythm across the seasons. A border in full bloom or a young tree settling into its spot can completely shift the feel of a garden.

🧘 It nourishes wellbeing

Planting gives a sense of connection, grounding, and contribution — not just to your own space, but to the wider living world.
