Planting a tree is a task we particularly enjoy doing at Emondage Boucherville. Isn't it a most gratifying gesture to plant this living creature? It also has the added advantage of being able to highlight an event that should not be forgotten. There are many opportunities to do so, whether it's when buying a new home, when a child is born, to mark the reception of a diploma or to commemorate the death of a loved one...
A private, shaded or bird-friendly area Planting a tree can also fulfil a special function. It can be used to cast a shadow to create a peaceful corner. Birds also enjoy nesting in trees. Getting some is one way to attract them. You'll be delighted to hear them frolic and sing in your garden.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions More and more people are finding it important to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in light of climate change. Planting a tree is one way to offset them, as they absorb carbon dioxide.
A tree to mark events You probably know people who buy everything they need and don't know what to offer. How about a tree? Although this is becoming more and more common, few expect to receive one as a gift on their birthday. This way, you will surprise them. Is there a more original way to please? Plus, you're helping to improve the environment while giving something that will last a long time. When the person you've helped will look at his or her tree, you'll also keep their thoughts occupied. So don't miss any opportunity to give trees. Let's see when it's time to do so.
Why plant a tree?
For economic reasons
Who doesn't think a wooded property has a unique character? In any case, such sites are highly sought-after. In fact, sellers of homes on lots with trees get more for their sale than when there are none. Studies report that the presence of trees can increase the value of a property by 15%. These types of properties are going fast!
When placed accordingly, trees can provide summer cooling or winter insulation. This significantly reduces the need for air conditioning or provides less heating during the cold season.
Climate control and clean air
Who hasn't learned in school that trees make oxygen, which we need to breathe? In addition, all plants, including trees, store carbon dioxide in their foliage. This is how they act as air fresheners. Their foliage also helps control the temperature.
Tranquillity dispenser
Do you like to bask under a tree? Who would dare to despise such precious moments that provide the kind of calm that only a tree can provide?
Studies have shown that in hospitals, patients who benefit from a room with a window overlooking a landscaped view recover more quickly than those who do not.
Erosion controller and noise attenuator
When soil erosion is a concern, tree roots are most useful. In addition, trees can be used as sound barriers. Highways are often bordered by trees precisely because they act as a protective wall against car noise for the benefit of the surrounding populated areas.
Education of children
Imagine being able to enjoy a piece of fruit picked directly from your fruit trees. Children especially love such trees and you'll smile with delight when you hear them talk about it. You can even discuss with them how fruit replaces flowers, with an example in front of them.
