Why gardens make us better people.

To keep your heart from sinking too deeply as you watch zones turn from green to red think about this tree alphabet. Imagine writing in tree, creating trunks and branches as we reach out of our truncated lives to each other. Think about the trees. Learn their shape, colour, and leaf.

Beyond our Covid isolation we can commune together with these brethren, our friends the Trees. See more
