About Garden & Nature

A great shade tree is a gift that ripens over decades — wide enough to cool a whole yard by midsummer, its bark carrying the texture of years. Oaks anchor the landscape with a quiet authority, maples ignite in October with copper and gold, and the elm once arched cathedral-like over Main Streets from coast to coast. Underneath them all, roots hold the earth, boughs hold the sky, and the air smells faintly of moss and cool soil.
