Botschafter des Lebens

A botanical journey of discovery through our cities. Those who want to learn about fascinating trees and their stories don't need to disappear deep into the forest. Often, a single step outside one's front door is enough. Here, one encounters mighty giants, sought-after exotics, and ancient witnesses of time. They tell tales of hopes and dreams, of new beginnings and disappointments, of impossible love, and what it’s like to live as a tree in the city. Some are well hidden, others so inconspicuous that one might walk past them. Still, others are so famous that they bear their own names or have been immortalized in poems. Caroline Ring has visited the most interesting and significant city trees and shares their stories. They invite you to see the city with new eyes.
