Magnificent, mature trees dominate your property with their beautiful presence. Trees are precious allies for the environment. In addition to being champions of CO2 sequestration, trees lower the ambient temperature, provide shelter and food for many insects, birds and small animals, and also create precious shade when temperatures are high. However, because of the intense shade created by their dense foliage paired to the impressive root system of many species, it is often difficult to have some beautiful grass or plants at the base of your trees. Sometimes mulch is the best option, but be aware that by making the right choices, it is feasible to plant annuals, perennials and plants under the trees, and to create beautiful and colourful flower beds that will give even more beauty to your landscape.<\/p>\n

Plants that tolerate shade<\/h2>\n

Whether you choose annuals or perennials, be sure to choose varieties that are shade tolerant. The more the leaves of the tree develop, the less the sun will reach your plants. Your plants will already have to work hard to develop their root system through the trees\u2019, give them the maximum chance to grow well.<\/p>\n
