Don't miss NYT best-selling author and accomplished artist Amy Stewart, as she joins us to discuss her latest book, "The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession" in celebration of Arbor Day.
In celebration of Arbor Day 2025, New York Times best-selling author Amy Stewart joins us to share delightful and exhilarating profiles from her lates book, The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession. Amy will introduce us to the remarkable people devoting their lives to the pursuit of rare and wonderful trees. From a native Greenlander who wanted to find trees that could grow near the Artic Circle to the arborist hired by Steve Jobs to plant nine thousand trees on Apple’s 175-acre campus, the compelling bios of tree collectors from around the world will inspire us to reconsider our own connections to trees.
Amy is an accomplished artist, and The Tree Collectors includes original watercolors, all painted by Amy. Amy is also the author of The Drunken Botanist, which she has recently updated in honor of its tenth anniversary printing. The International Association of Culinary Professional Food Writing honored The Drunken Botanist with its Judges Choice Award. Amy has won a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, the American Horticulture Society’s Food Award, and the National Outdoor Book award. She has appeared on CBS Sunday Morning and NPR and is known for her spirited lectures.
