"Art is mimetic of nature, for nature is beauty. Trees, and particularly our blossom trees, are beautiful. The effect of this on people’s wellbeing, while hard to quantify, cannot possibly be understated.
Blossom trees in spring bring life, energy, places to sit and reflect, objects to watch sway in wind. They can ground us and remind us of the world beyond our immediate surroundings and take us out of ourselves when we need time away from the problems of our lives.
One of the great benefits of trees is they make ourselves, and correspondingly our problems, seem small."
Tom Shuttleworth, Trees and Woodland Advisor, National Trust

We think Elgar would agree. Do you think any of Lower Broadheath's blossom trees inspired his music? 🌸
