Delighted to get this video from Peter Gaffney. I would often meet him in the swimming pool during my recent stay in my hometown Carlow, Ireland .

Peters words :

Hello my name is Peter Gaffney and this is my tree story . 

My tree is over there very near the white blossom. 

In fact inside of it and part of it . 

We planted a cherry blossom more than 10 years ago.

There was a drought in one of the first years which revealed that our seedling was actually a grafting . 

From that time on only the base tree , the white blossom grew , not the red blossom cherry tree . 

There is a song which goes 

“Struggle on Struggle on 

Though your heart is sick and your knees are gone “

Every March this tiny tree blossoms brightly before being swallowed by its white cousin . 

You’ve just missed it  but I never would.

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.
