I planted an oak when I moved into my new home in 2024. It’s still young and skinny.

Oaks cool neighborhoods, slow stormwater, feed wildlife, and quietly pull carbon from the air.

If you plant one thing for tomorrow, let it be an oak. 🌱

Plant Trees You’ll Never Sit Under

Planting a tree today isn’t just gardening—it’s an act of legacy.
Of hope. Of refusal to give up on the future.
Let’s be ancestors worth remembering.

The baby orchard is waking up. Inside the tubes it's a bit warmer so the buds open there first. A couple of my Edholm Wickson OP seedling apples are showing nice dark red on them, and they've survived two winters so far... 🌱

If we're going back to high levels of CO2, what was growing then? Maybe we should think about that.

AI GENERATED: A high-definition image of a freshly planted sapling apple tree on a small grassy verge beside a UK road, near the curb. A small bamboo sign is placed next to the sapling, displaying the message: 'Ask mummy why you might rely on these apples in future' with the hashtag '#PlantForTheFuture.' In the background, slightly blurred, a junior school building is visible. The scene is natural and realistic, with soft lighting that highlights the tree and sign.

As part of #PlantForTheFuture, we’re planting food-providing shrubs and trees with signs to spark awareness about the climate crisis.

🌱 'Planted for an uncertain future.'
🌱 'When systems fail, we grow.'
🌱 'You may rely on this food one day.'

What would your sign say?

I’ve been chatting with ChatGPT about The Shift and asked it to rank our ideas. It suggested PlantForTheFuture as top priority. Re-fluttering this to see what you all think—any feedback or thoughts?

I snapped this pic of one of our resident Great spotted woodpeckers! Moments like this are a big reason why I do what I do. What wildlife do you love spotting? 🌳🐦 #PlantForTheFuture

Documenting each planting is key. Take two photos:

1. Close-up of the plaque to show the message.

2. Contextual to display the plant in its surroundings.
This creates a visual archive of action and inspires others to join in. Sharing with #PlantForTheFuture helps amplify the movement.

A food-providing tree sapling freshly planted in a small public green space. A biodegradable plaque beside it reads 'Plant for the Future.' The background includes subtle urban elements with soft natural light, emphasizing hope, resilience, and environmental action.

Imagine a campaign where we plant food-providing trees and shrubs in public spaces, each with a plaque bearing a climate message.

It’s about sparking awareness, fighting disinformation, and inspiring action.

Does this resonate with you? Would you take part?

#PlantForTheFuture #ClimateAction

The plaques aren’t just signs, they’re antidotes to disinformation.

Fossil fuel companies buried the truth about climate change. Planting trees with messages reminds us what’s at stake, and who’s responsible.

What message would you write to counter the lies?

A small fruit tree sapling freshly planted in a quiet urban green space. A wooden plaque beside it bears the words 'PlantForTheFuture.' The scene includes subtle urban elements in the background, with soft natural light highlighting the act of planting and the hopeful message.

Want to plant hope? Here’s how:

1. Find an unused public space.

2. Plant a fruit tree or food shrub.

3. Add a plaque: ‘Planted for the future.’

4. Take a photo & share it with #PlantForTheFuture.

Every plant is a step toward resilience. Let’s act now!

Hands gently planting a small fruit tree sapling in rich, dark soil. The scene is set in a natural environment with soft, warm light emphasizing growth, connection to the earth, and proactive action for a hopeful future.

Climate change threatens our food systems, but we can take action now.

By planting fruit trees or shrubs in unused spaces, we’re not just growing food—we’re growing awareness and resilience.

What will you plant? Let’s take root for the future.

What if we could plant seeds of change—literally?

The Shift invites you to join our guerrilla food planting campaign.

Secretly plant a food-providing tree or shrub in a public space, take a photo, and share it with us.
Together, we’ll grow resilience and hope.
