The Tree Collectors

Sponsored by Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens + Tredyffrin Public Library's Arbo-READ-um partnership.

When 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. Meet several of the remarkable people whose lives were transformed by their relationships to trees and be inspired to reconsider your own connections to trees—and maybe start a collection!
