Why does everything have to be organised, stage managed and for a purpose?

The National Trust is 'planning' to plant more blossom trees - cherry, hazel, apple, plum - at sites (four of them) around the country. They are going to be 'gardens', 'circles' and 'commemorative spaces' so that those of us living in 'grey deserts' can get closer to nature.

Nature!? Nature doesn't organise planting gardens and circles nor does it set up overpaid focus groups to endlessly plan them - the seeds drop and the trees grow!.

Get these idiots out of their plush offices and get them planting seedlings here, there and everywhere; randomly, as nature would. Many of us will be able to identify loads of local places where a handful of blossom trees would brighten the place up.

We certainly could. But would they be politically correct places designed to support "diversity" and enrich the very largest number of "disadvantaged"?

You see it takes "Planning" with a capital P. Personally I think it is a load of B

Just get them out full stop. The management of the National Trust is a disgrace.
