Introducing Front Garden Forests
We are excited to launch our Front Garden Forests initiative, helping residents in the Wootton Brook and Harpers Brook catchments plant beautiful trees in their front gardens.
These small but mighty trees bring:
✅ Cooling shade in summer
✅ Reduced surface runoff in wet months
✅ Seasonal colour and wildlife appeal
Choose from flowering cherries 🌸, magnolias 🌷, silver birch 🌿 and even fruiting apples 🍎
We will support delivery alongside our brilliant partners at Woodland Dwelling.

Trees will be delivered early next year!

The RAIN Project is funded by Defra as part of the £200 million Flood and Coastal Innovation Programmes, which is managed by the Environment Agency. The programmes will drive innovation in flood and coastal resilience and adaptation to a changing climate.
