End of the season in my garden. Lots of butterflies and important pollinators 👍 The building is from late 1700 and it is my office.

PLANT TREES!
When I lived in London our street had plane trees on both sides of the street.
They were over 100 years old and the canopies almost touch each other across the street. It was absolutely beautiful and made me feel happy every time I reach my street. The trunks have stunning bone white bark. The trees are not only divinely beautiful they are also tolerant and lessen the pollution.
They are often known in English as planes or plane trees. Some North American species are called sycamores especially Platanus occidentalis, although the term sycamore also refers to the fig Ficus sycomorus, the plant originally so named, and to the sycamore maple Acer pseudoplatanus. The genus name Platanus comes from Ancient Greek πλάτανος, which referred to Platanus orientalis.
Plane trees survives extended flooding and are highly drought tolerant. Some gardeners consider it a nuisance, since the big leaves do not decompose quickly. However, they are excellent additions to your compost pile. The photos show the same tree that lives in Ely in England and it was planted 1674!
Plant trees
for the future!!!
