This is possibly my favourite of all my videos ever. And it’s certainly one of my popular autumnal videos ever. And as it is acorn season, I thought I’d post it again. Make your love last a 1000 years! Planting trees is the ultimate selfless action. Some trees can take 100s of years to grow. So you're doing it for future generations to enjoy, rather than yourself. I confess, I have slightly paraphrased that Greek proverb to shorten it for my video, but the meaning is the same. Thank you so much for watching, and thank you to all those people who have bought my gardening books Finally, I’ll just add, I am no longer working as Head Gardener at Painshill, but it is a beautiful garden and well worth a visit if you are near Surrey or London
