About Me

Welcome. My name is Naomi, and I have loved trees for my whole life. As a baby, my mum always set me on a blanket beneath the swaying leaves of our willow tree, and the love and comfort I felt then has carried me throughout my life. I used to climb into branches as a child and write and draw in my journal. As an adult, I bought a home surrounded by trees as soon as I could afford to. Now, my relationship with trees has changed. I no longer climb them, and I spend a lot more time taking care of them. In this blog, I am going to focus on a range of aspects of tree care. Enjoy and I wish you and your trees a prosperous and healthy life.
