Most of us walk past the same trees every day without knowing what they are. Learning even five of them makes a familiar street feel new.
Start with the trees on your own road. Look at the shape of the leaves, the bark and anything that falls on the pavement in autumn. A free plant identification app or a small field guide from the library will do the rest.
Write the names down, or take one photo of each tree in every season.
Soon you will start noticing the same trees in parks and gardens, and the walk to the shop becomes a little more interesting.
