Glorious, Great and Grounded: A Tree Blog

Hello. My name is Neve, and I want to welcome you to my tree blog. Trees are glorious, great and of course, grounded. They provide everything, from shade, to food, to recreation, and they can be harvested and made into other things. I have always been in awe of trees, more so than with other plants I have to admit.

In this blog, I am going to write about many aspects of tree care, and I hope that these blogs help you take great care of your trees. Thank you so much for reading!
