The Gifts of Trees

I am the bread of kindness and the flower of beauty.
Ye who pass by, listen to my prayer: Harm me not.
– Ancient prayer, in Portuguese forest preservations
On a hot summer’s day, trees can cool the air, and the ground beneath them, as much as 9-13 degrees. Trees give many more such gifts to us every day. Join us for a conversation with Adam Farrell-Wortman, Horticultural Director at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, and arborist Nazareth Taraz, who will paint a picture of the amazing gifts of trees to humans and to habitat, and describe how we can best serve the trees in our desert community.
