About the Event
Some notes from Angela King & Sue Clifford ...
National Tree Week, promoted by the Tree Council, takes place between 23 November & 1st December. It is a annual celebration of trees and marks the start of the tree planting season.
Tree Dressing Day - 1st weekend in December - 6/7/8th December if not before, encourages us to join in traditions from around the world - to cross cultures to celebrate the trees around us - in our gardens and streets - by decorating them in simple ways.
