Peter Del Tredici, Senior Research Scientist Emeritus at the Arnold
Arboretum, and Rosetta Elkin, Associate Professor of Landscape
Architecture at McGill University, converse about the nature of urban
environments. Peter will begin the program with a brief overview of
the plant observations he makes in his book, Wild Urban Plants of the
Northeast. Following this, Peter and Rosetta will discuss both
ecological and design elements that come into play in the cities and
suburbs that we call home. Up for discussion are the environments that
humans intentionally and unintentionally create as we turn over more
land to infrastructure and buildings while also increasing designed
green spaces for human use. They will consider how nature is realized
and imagined in the city and who it supports. Offered by the Arnold
Arboretum of Harvard University and Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens.
