Nuts are an important source of protein in the vegan diet and are commonly used in both sweet and savoury, vegan recipes. So if you have some spare room in your garden, why not plant a few nut trees? Even if you have no intention of harvesting and eating the nuts yourself nut trees make excellent wildlife plants and planting extra trees will help to reduce global warming. If you have a lot of room you could even consider planting a nut orchard or mixing nut trees with fruit trees to make a forest garden. And, if you have dormice living in your area, you can help them by planting a hazel hedge which will provide extra food for them. For the dormouse, like the hedgehog, has been affected by the constant destruction of the hedgerow and is now completely extinct in some English counties.
