Looking for the Conifer Collection
The Midwest cured my tree blindness. I grew up in Maine, where trees were a given, and then moved to upstate New York.

I come from a family with eight kids and we visited The Morton Arboretum frequently as a family. One of my favorite traditions is our Thanksgiving Day walk at the Arboretum.
My story isn't just about one tree but about being among many trees. The day my mother died, I headed straight to The Morton Arboretum to go for a walk in the woods.
Our kids are 42 and 44. One of them planted a seed in a school project and brought it home in a cup when it was several inches high.
I grew up on Main Street in Lisle. My grandpa worked and my grandparents lived in The Morton Arboretum, so trees were a big part of my life!
