BBC TV gardener Frances Tophill helped to mark National Tree Week (23 November - 3 December) and celebrated a new plan that will see more trees across the land in the River Dart valley in South Devon.

Plymouth and South Devon Community Forest are proud to support Sharpham's Wild about Trees project. Wild About Trees is a partnership between The Sharpham Trust, the renowned nature-mindfulness charity, and Ambios, a nature conservation training organisation based on The Sharpham Estate.

5875 new trees are being planted as part of the Wild About Trees project, taking place on the Sharpham Estate: beautiful riverside parkland that sits within one of Britain’s National Landscapes.

The co-presenter of the much-loved programme Gardeners’ World came to plant one of many trees to kick off National Tree week.
