Tree Planting for Plant Sales
For every 10 plant sales (online or in person, excluding bulbs) at Dachshund Dahlia Plant Nursery, Trees for Life UK will plant a tree from a healthy range of native species to contribute to the health and biodiversity of forests which will be rich in wildlife and protected for future generations. Currently, Trees for Life are planting trees in the Scottish Highlands with ones contributed through corporate groves being planted in Glen Affric where they have been rewilding for over 25 years.
