CULTIVATING WISDOM & WONDER WITH AMY STEWART
The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession

July 17


Join bestselling author Amy Stewart on a captivating journey into the world of tree collectors—passionate individuals whose love for trees goes beyond horticulture to something deeper: a longing for community, a vision for the future, and a path to healing.

When Amy set out to explore the world of tree collectors, she expected to meet enthusiasts determined to plant every species of oak or maple. Instead, she discovered remarkable people whose lives were transformed by their relationships with trees. In this engaging talk, accompanied by her own hand-drawn illustrations, Amy shares their stories and invites audiences to reconsider their own connections to the trees around them—and perhaps even start a collection of their own!

Why Attend?

  • Discover the fascinating stories of tree collectors from around the world
  • Enjoy Amy’s personal hand-drawn illustrations that bring these stories to life
  • Reflect on your own relationship with trees and nature

Thursday, July 17 from 6-7:30 p.m.

Space is limited. Tickets required.
