We are part of the Chicago Region Trees Initiative (CRTI), the largest initiative in the country building a healthier regional forest.
Trees save lives by cleaning the air we breathe. Air pollution has been linked to numerous health issues, but trees, especially mature trees, can reduce air pollution greatly. In the Chicago region, trees absorb and store 17 million tons of carbon and 24,000 tons of pollution every year. But the Chicago region has lost millions of trees in recent years, and we need to plant more to regain the many benefits. Plant a tree today to clean the air. Stop into our Bloomingdale or Carpentersville location and let us help you pick the right tree for your landscape and soil.
Platt Hill Nursery is Chicago’s premier garden center and nursery.
