“Author Dan Lambe, president since 2014 of the 50-year-old Arbor Day Foundation, and Seattle Times garden columnist Lorene Edwards Forkner celebrate the power of trees to oxygenate the planet, purify water and air, lower city temperatures, provide habitat, nurture the soul, and provide essential food sources… The book offers ample information on the basics of procuring and planting a tree… Recommended especially for garden collections with a strong native-plant counterbalance.”
