Behind Every Great Tree ... Celebrating 160 Years of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ Garden Masters
Starting point: Steps of Redpath Museum (includes booklet: A Leafy Legacy: The Trees of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ)
As the saying goes: behind every great person, is a great partner. Much the same may be said about the great trees of the downtown campus of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ. From the first elms planted by Sir William Dawson in 1855, to (first botany professor) David Penhallow's phantom ginkgo, to the bald cypress planted recently by 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ horticulturalist Eric Champagne, the campus has never lacked for adventurous landscapers. This year, the 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ homecoming tree tour will be a walk through the botanical history of the campus.

To register for all tree tours, please contact Bronwyn Chester at 514-284-7384 or email bronwynchester [at] gmail.com. $12 each.
