I was delighted to read that Mother’s Day can be a time to reflect and do something positive even though my mother is not with me. Thank you for considering those who have lost their mother and making a difficult day a little easier.

Private plantings
If there are no planned Trees for Mum events in your neighbourhood, you can simply plant a native tree or flowers in your own garden. Visit your local garden centre to find your mum’s favourite native species or another variety suitable to your local conditions. Local councils may also be willing to provide trees and plants; please contact your local council to enquire.
