Creating a tree-planter garden

Keep your eyes open, and every now and then you may notice a

little garden planted under a street tree. Garden pirates love

planting gardens under trees — and with good reason. The area

of soil around the base of a street tree will often be in bad

condition — trampled down or covered in trash, with bicycles

often left leaning against the trunk. All that means that street

trees can easily become unhealthy. So if you take care of the

area around the base of the tree, you will also be taking care of

the tree.

If you want to start a planting at the base of a city or town

tree, it’s best to ask your parents for some help, since there are

a few things you have to be careful about!

Check with the local city parks, trees, or landscaping

department to ﬁnd out what restrictions apply to

plantings, and obey the rules.

The tree should be at least 5 years old.

Clean any trash away from the area around the tree’s

base. Wear cleaning or gardening gloves as you do this.

Next, loosen the soil, but not deeper than 15 to 20 cm, so

you don’t harm the tree’s roots.

You can improve the soil by adding some good planting

soil. Do not cover the base of the tree trunk in the

process.

Now it’s time to plant. Shallow-rooted, native plants are

best. They will be a source of food for insects and

promote biodiversity. Do not plant any poisonous,

thorny, climbing, or woody plants.
