"Great Trees Make Great Gardens"

Trees are the unsung heroes of the sophisticated garden. They provide spring flowers, summer shade, fall color, and winter structure. They create a sense of scale and lend a sense of timelessness to our properties. And for all they give, they require little in return. Todd Forrest, Arthur Ross Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections at NYBG will pay tribute to the many virtues of garden trees.
