Thank you to all who attended our Branching Out: Trees in Contemporary Art program on Wednesday at the Greenwich Botanical Center, our partner for this special event.🌳

Attendees enjoyed an inspiring and insightful lecture by art historian Page Knox, who explored how contemporary artists interpret and reimagine trees in their work, using them as powerful metaphors for ecology, identity, and our evolving relationship with the natural world.🌸

Tree planting season is in full swing at the Greenwich Tree Conservancy, and we’d love your ideas. 🌳

In partnership with the Town Tree Warden, we plant trees on municipal properties throughout Greenwich to help grow a healthier, greener, and more resilient community.

Is there a park, school, train station, neighborhood street, or other public space that could use more shade and beauty? Let us know where you’d like to see trees planted next.

We can’t help but admire this week’s amazing view from the GTC office window and along the Merritt Parkway, too! This beautiful Paulownia tomentosa is more commonly known as a Royal Empress Tree, Princess Tree, or Royal Paulownia.🌸

Named for Russian Princess Anna Pavlovna (1795–1865), the species name tomentosa means “softly hairy” in Latin.

In spring, the tree produces large upright clusters of fragrant, tubular lavender flowers that can reach up to 14 inches long. A fast-growing tree, it can reach 50 feet tall and 30 feet wide in just 10 years.

While its blooms are stunning, it is considered an invasive species, so please do not plant one. We can still appreciate its beauty from afar each spring!🥰

Trees have long inspired artists as symbols of resilience, connection, and the passage of time.🌳

Join us on Wednesday, May 27 at 6 PM for an engaging illustrated lecture with art historian Page Knox, exploring how contemporary artists reimagine trees as powerful symbols of ecology, identity, and our evolving relationship with the natural world.🎨

In partnership with the Greenwich Botanical Center.

While Arbor Day celebrates tree planting, Love a Tree Day is all about appreciating trees! 🌳

Trees are the quiet, constant workers in our community, cleaning our air, helping prevent flooding, and providing essential shade.

This Saturday is the perfect day to visit one of Greenwich’s beautiful parks and show our amazing trees some love. Take a walk, sit beneath a favorite tree, or share a photo of one you love! 💚

Join us on Saturday, June 6 from 9–10:30 AM for a brisk fitness walk through the trails at the Greenwich Audubon Center, led by tree and fitness enthusiasts. Special for this month’s walk: we’ll look for birds along the trails with a new Audubon guide! 🐦

Enjoy the benefits of exercise along with the fresh air and beauty of our urban forests.

All ages are welcome. Bring your energy and wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. We’ll meet at the front of the center.🌳
