Henrik Sjöman & Arit Anderson - The Essential Tree Selection Guide

Join Henrik Sjöman & Arit Anderson, for an evening of discussion about their new book, The Essential Tree Selection Guide, hosted by Johanna Gibbons

There has never been a better time to plant trees. They play a vital role in the health of the natural world, provide life-giving oxygen, and when mature, the right tree in the right place, is imperative for 21st-century living.

Award-winning landscape architect Johanna Gibbons, of J&L GIbbons, talks to tree expert Henrik Sjöman and passionate environmental campaigner Arit Anderson about what makes their new approach to selecting trees such a game changer. What are ecosystem services and why are they so valuable? What role can trees play during rising temperatures, increasing flooding and pollution, and the race to capture carbon? How can we identify the natural resilience of trees to particular conditions to make better choices for our gardens and landscapes?

Based on decades of research, the book’s plant directory lists more than 540 species and varieties which will be the go-to trees of the future. Discover which of these are the best in our changing climate and pick up valuable advice for tree planting projects of all sizes.

Time: 19:00 GMT
