In praise of trees: Allwood Trees and Shrubs
Long have trees been admired by man. Journalist, poet and soldier Joyce Kilmer wrote the poem Trees in 1913; its opening lines read “I think that I shall never see a poem lovelier than a tree”.
We plant trees to celebrate milestone events, to honour the memory of loved ones now gone, to give shelter, to provide food, or simply to contemplate for their absolute magnificence.
Established in 2008, Allwood Trees and Shrubs stocks around 15,000 trees at any one time, including deciduous, New Zealand natives and exotic evergreens.
Allwood’s garden and landscape services include consultations, quotes, soft landscape plans, through to delivery and planting, landscape construction, and garden maintenance.
Director Mark Hutching heads an experienced team who work hard to uphold the nursery’s philosophy – to grow quality trees, plant the right trees for gardens, and give the best garden and landscape advice.
Allwood Trees and Shrubs are at the Home Show, 14–16 October 2022. The team look forward to chatting over any garden queries or arranging landscaping consultations and quotes.
The nursery is located at 913 Shands Road, Prebbleton, Christchurch. Call 03 349 9240 or visit the website for more information.
