Get involved
Everyone is encouraged to get involved in tree planting to honour Her Majesty The Queen. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete novice, we will guide you through the process of planting trees so that they survive and flourish for years to come.
If you wish to plant a tree in your garden, we recommend you order a tree/trees from a certified Plant Healthy nursery in your area. Please see below our PLAN page for advice on the tree planting season (October to March), where to plant and how to secure a healthy tree which is right for your location.
From October, you can add your tree to the QGC map.
