Totally Trees Tour with Levi O'Brien

Join arborist, educator and tree enthusiast Levi O'Brien to explore the world of trees at Untermyer

SATURDAY, JUNE 6 at 5:00PM

You don’t need to be a gardener, naturalist or scientist to appreciate the trees all around you. Embark on an entertaining and educational walk through the beautiful formal gardens and woodland carriage roads of Untermyer Gardens as you discover the historical importance, cultural meaning, ecology, biology and horticulture of some amazing trees. Learn to observe and appreciate trees holistically across their many dimensions, and pick up some foundational skills of tree identification along the way. With an eclectic collection of historic estate trees, woodland remnants, and unusual cultivars of natives and non-natives, Untermyer Garden is the perfect place to connect to trees!
