"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease."
– John Muir
With the support of the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, and in line with the Gardens’ mission of connecting people with plants, this year’s series aims to show the art, beauty and creativity involved in - and centered on - trees.
Join us for interactive and captivating lectures featuring a variety of speakers inspired by trees and the natural world. Topics range from fantastical tree houses to the art and tradition of bonsai, to seeing beyond the ordinary and capturing the uniqueness and beauty of bark on camera.
A parallel series of smaller, more intimate workshops will accompany the lectures and provide personal opportunities for growth and experience.
