We invited you to write a poem or story in fewer than 250 words about trees in parks and public gardens - to express in words your feelings, love or respect for those trees, or to tell us something about how they came to be in those parks and public gardens, or how they are cared for and managed, or describe the places from where they came, their histories through their lives?

We know how special trees are and how important it is to have trees in parks and public gardens close to where we live. Tell us about the trees that are nearby to you and what value they bring to your neighbourhood now.
