Nothing pleases us more than planting a tree at Emondage Victoriaville. Of course, there are many contexts in which the desire to plant a tree is expressed. Among them are significant events in one's life, for oneself or for others, past or present. For example, the arrival of a newborn baby, a death anniversary, a graduation, a new real estate acquisition... are all possible situations.
In addition to all these occasions, we can plant trees for so many other reasons, and we will go through some of them together.
Getting birds to settle in your garden or creating soothing privacy Planting a tree can nourish our needs to brighten our lives. Birds are unique in this respect. They love trees. Trees are as much a shelter as they are a place to practice their beak choir or a playground. You just have to have them on your property to bring them into our garden. It can thus become a true sanctuary offering multiple opportunities to take extraordinary photographs.
The birds, by their songs, can also calm us down. Except that the shadow cast by the immense antlers of a large plant can do just as much. It thus becomes a small area where it is good to bask.
Reducing your carbon footprint Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. Offsetting them is one of the possible strategies to do so. All you have to do is plant trees, because they absorb CO2.
A tree as a gift Isn't it a real puzzle to find out what to give as a gift? People have everything these days. And don't you want to give something unique, something special? Except that there is an all-occasion solution ... which also has that unusual character that you probably want to offer: a tree. Perhaps because of the immense benefits it provides over many years, such as cleaner air, more pleasant landscapes ... but certainly also because it has a symbolism that makes it so precious. And then, the idea crosses all our minds: when the person who received our tree as a gift will look at it, that person will, at the same time, have a thought for us.
What makes you want to plant trees?
The economy
Comparable properties may or may not have trees. Which one do you think would sell best? Studies show that properties with trees sell faster and about 15% more expensive compared to those without trees. Bet you guessed it!
Thermoregulating and purifying effects
Air quality is an important factor, as well as temperature control. Trees can intervene on both of these levels. Photosynthesis allows plants to produce oxygen during the day. However, we all know that this gas is essential for life. At night, trees, like all plants, store carbon dioxide. Thus, they ensure the quality of the air we breathe. They also perform natural thermal regulation functions by insulating against both heat and cold. Thus, by choosing their location, they can constitute an insulation factor against the cold winter. In summer, their foliage provides a delicious refreshment.
The relaxing element
Studies have shown that in the case of hospitalized patients, those who had a window in their room with a view of the landscape recovered faster than those who were not so fortunate. This result is not surprising since trees have a calming effect on us when we enjoy their beauty or benefits. They remind us of nature, transporting us in thought away from the hassles of the city.
Noise and erosion: two factors to be reduced
It should also be noted that trees not only insulate against cold or heat, but also against noise. This is their role when they are lined up along the sides of highways: to prevent the noise of traffic from reaching residential areas. In addition, they are a means of combating soil erosion, especially when placed along riverbanks or on agricultural land.
