Free blossom trees, planted for you, by your community.
If you have land — a churchyard, a school field, a farm hedgerow, a community-facing garden — you can host an Easter Trees planting. Local families bring the trees. They do the planting. You set every rule and keep what grows.
- Free trees. Families buy the trees from local garden centres and bring them on planting day.
- You stay in control. Pick the vision, the species, the access rules, the day. Nobody turns up unannounced.
- It grows over years. Three trees year one, more next year, a landmark in a decade.
A vicar with a churchyard. A farmer with a hedgerow gap. A head with a school field. A councillor, a housing manager, a hotel landscape lead — there's a vision designed for each of you.

We recommend UK-grown stock from Plant Healthy-accredited nurseries — the safest defence against imported diseases like Xylella, Phytophthora, ash dieback, and plum pox. We're building a vetted supplier list with our garden centre partners. More on biosecurity in the tree guide →
A one-page pack tailored for your team is in development — covering governance, insurance, safeguarding, species suitability, and a draft risk assessment. Submit this form and we'll email it to you the moment it's ready.
Thank you!
We'll review your submission and add it to the map within 48 hours. You'll receive an email confirmation. If we have any questions, we'll be in touch.
Honest about governance and insurance.
Easter Trees is a Community Interest Company, founded by Tara Button. Our CIC application has been filed with Companies House and is pending registration; once confirmed, the company number, registered address and named director(s) will appear here. A horticultural advisory group is being assembled in parallel and will be listed publicly when complete.
On insurance. Until our CIC is fully incorporated and carrying its own public-liability cover (target: before any 2027 planting day), any event must sit under your existing insurance — your church's, school's, council's, or domestic policy. Don't list your land, and don't host a public planting day, beyond what your existing cover supports. If you're not sure, ask your insurer first.
What you're committing to by submitting this form today: we'll review your submission and add a pin to the map. Nothing more. No legal commitment. You can withdraw the listing at any time before launch by emailing hello@eastertrees.com. A risk-assessment template, sample faculty wording, and parish-council briefing pack are all in development; sign up here and we'll send them to you when ready.
What to expect when you host
Planting day, on your terms
You set the rules. No-one turns up unannounced. Bookings only confirm once you've replied. If you'd rather plant the trees yourself with a small team, choose "I'll do the planting myself" above.
Insurance and risk
Until Easter Trees is incorporated and able to hold its own public-liability cover (intended before launch — see governance), the safest pattern is: events held on land you already insure (your garden, your churchyard, your school field, your council park) sit under that existing cover, with you choosing who you let on. We'll publish a downloadable risk-assessment template before the 2027 launch.
Children, safeguarding, churchyards
For schools, churches, and any setting with safeguarding policies: planting events should be supervised by your existing staff or volunteers under your usual policies. We do not vet or DBS-check planters. If your site is a churchyard, your DAC may need to give faculty consent for new planting — please factor in that timeline.
Aftercare — who waters in July
This is the question every honest landowner asks. New blossom trees need a weekly soak through their first summer. Three workable patterns:
- Adopt-a-tree. The planter agrees to water their tree through summer. We'll send them reminders.
- Buddy rota. A small group covers a watering rota — five or six volunteers, fortnightly slots.
- Tree irrigation bags. Slow-release watering bags from any garden centre — refill weekly in dry spells.
Verges, council land, public highways
If the land is owned by a council, parish, or highways authority, you'll need their permission before listing the spot. Our pin doesn't grant that. If you need help making the case, email hello@eastertrees.com.
