On 5 June (World Environment Day), the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) launched the ‘Plant For Our Planet’ campaign, a new initiative to get the country planting more trees and flowers.

The campaign – backed by green organisations such as The Wildlife Trusts, Woodland Trust, National Trust, Horticultural Trades Association and Royal Horticultural Society – is asking individuals and communities to play their part in helping reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and supporting nature recovery by planting flowers and trees, restoring community spaces and getting out into nature.
