New York Botanical Garden: Amy Stewart: The Tree Collectors (1 CEU)

When author Amy Stewart discovered a community of tree collectors, she expected to meet horticultural fanatics driven to plant every species of oak or maple. But she also discovered that the urge to collect trees springs from something deeper and more profound: a longing for community, a vision for the future, or a path to healing and reconciliation.

In this talk, you'll hear about several of the remarkable people Stewart met from around the world whose lives were transformed by their relationships to trees and how these interactions inspired her newest book, The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession. Accompanied by her own hand-drawn illustrations of people and their trees, Stewart aims to inspire us to reconsider our own connections to trees—and maybe start a collection!
