“Trees Through The Seasons” is an inspired look, through the eyes of a landscape designer, of how trees change through the four seasons of the year in our area. You will see a variety of trees and how different they appear from season to season. The program has a special emphasis on small ornamental trees suitable for homeowners who have smaller properties or spaces. Its educational component focuses on the many differentiating features of trees, including leaves, shapes, branching habits, flowers and fruits, bark, sun/shade preference and level of disease resistance. Many of the slides were taken at arboretums and public gardens in the tri-state area. These places are mentioned in the presentation to encourage viewers to plan day trips to enjoy/learn more about trees.
