Plantober

Plantober is a nationwide initiative to encourage everyone to collect seeds from the trees around them, plant them in pots, and then transfer them to a garden to grow and prosper.

Hundreds of thousands of trees have been lost in the last year as a result of storms, drought, and wildfires. Do your bit to try and replace the fallen stock by planting locally found seeds (including acorns and conkers which contain seeds) from early September onwards.  

Please share your seed collecting and growing journeys with us via social media using the hashtag #plantober

Below are examples of the British tree seeds you can collect on your walks and plant as part of #plantober.
