If you care about trees and how they shape our communities, then join Trees Atlanta for an exciting and educational day of professional lectures, arboretum tours and tree giveaways as we embrace “Bringing the Arboretum Home” at our second annual City in the Arboretum conference.  The program will build on information shared at our 2009 conference about establishing a neighborhood arboretum, but this year’s gathering will appeal to new and old attendees alike. 

 We will explore how to create healthy and vibrant neighborhoods with trees as well as how neighborhoods may benefit from themed arboretum collections.  You won’t want to miss exciting presentations by noted horticulturists and landscape architects including Elizabeth Dean, Erica Glasener, Steve Sanchez, and the Trees Atlanta staff. Sessions include selecting/planting according collections and themes, creating arboretum programming and events, updates about new and exciting developments in the tree world and more.   Breakfast and lunch will be served and continuing education credits are available.
