Delighted to hear Mary Hutton speak of a  tree in a special area for contemplation in An Gairdin Beo .

Mary’s words

I am here in the Gairdin Beo , it’s a community garden in the heart of Carlow town.

There are many areas in the garden including this small woodland area . This tree here is an arbutus unedo tree . It’s also known as a strawberry tree. With evergreen leaves, lovely white flowers and big fruit similar to a strawberry .

You can come here , sit in the one person seating area , just relax , think about nature and have a nice rest .

Open Call for your tree story on video 

Memory Palace of Tree Stories is a socio-ecological art practice which invites you to tell a story or share information about trees . It is a creative-led social enquiry of how we can live well for both personal and collective wellbeing. Your story can be any kind of tree story , a personal tree story, an ecological tree story , an environmental tree story, an historical tree story or even a botanical tree story. I do hope you can contribute a comment on how we can live better with the greater community of life.

 

The year 2023 we continue to gather your stories in the form of one minute videos and we are really looking forward to hearing your tree story . I can be contacted directly on this platform or on the contact page on this website.
