Trees are the most valuable part of our landscape. The benefits of planting trees in your yard include a range of environmental, economic, and aesthetic advantages. Not only do they shade our homes and increase our aesthetic appeal, but they can also reduce energy costs, and raise property value.

From choosing the right tree for your yard, to planting it in the right place at the right time, he’ll share his checklist of things to consider before you dig in. The co-author of Landscaping for Dummies will also discuss the importance of routine care.
