Ever wondered what makes a tree suited for city life? Join our Director of Horticulture, Greg Paige, as he explores the concept of 'street trees'—species tough enough to thrive in urban environments, while still providing the beauty we expect from the natural world. Greg will cover what makes a tree a good fit for city streets and how our understanding of this has evolved over time before he shows off a variety of tree species that are ideal for challenging urban conditions. Whether you're a homeowner, a gardener, or simply interested in how trees can enhance urban spaces, this session will help you choose the best trees for your landscape.
