I work at a preschool. We let the children play with shaving creme (cheap generic brand). One of my tactile activities involves applying shaving cream to tree trunks. Does this harm the tree in any way? Thank you.
It should not be an problem, just wash it off and wash it away from the tree roots system.

Mail order nurseries list pot sizes. What is a #1, #10, etc. pot size? Are these year old or more plants, namely shrubs?
This has to do with size of the plants, depending on what they are and where you get them - varies from place to place. The normal range for pots sizes is #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, and #10. Generally speaking, the larger the number, the larger the pot, and usually, the larger the plant. Most shrubs/trees are at least a year old prior to selling them.

I've sold part of my large garden but want to retain favorite shrubs and small trees and move them to another part of the garden. When is the best time to do this please and what's the best way? Thank you.
Spring and early fall are the best times to move plants. The key is to do your best to keep the plants from going into shock. This article will help you with that:

looks like a fungus on the leaves and some of the shrub is dying What can I do?? Eugene williams
Can you give us some more information?
Type of shrub? Are the leaves yellowing?
We have a planter which is 40cm deep. It is about 1m sq. or slightly bigger. Would this be suitable for a small tree that would grow to full height?
This could work for small dwarf trees, such as a dwarf citrus tree.
If you are looking to plant an ornamental type tree, you will likely need a larger container.
Here is an article with more information.
