Suitable venues are Botanical Gardens, Arboretums, Children and family gardens, Museums, Schools,
Universities/ Colleges, and Municipal and Private Parks.
Public workshops in a Family Garden or a Childrenšs Garden or a specified area of a
Botanical park draw great interest. A Tree Sculpture installation is a place to visit and re-visit
over time. Participation in such a class invests the public for the long term in the project and in the
venue.
A turnkey transition of care is suggested for follow-up maintenance to the project. With this in mind
I do staff training to introduce the design goals of the sculpture planting. I familiarize staff with
the anticipated stages of the project and suggest the annual pruning, water, and supplement needs. I
provide instruction in any particular grafting or training technique as well.
For further staff education I extend a seminar presentation to provide an introduction to
the inspiration and potential of tree sculpture. I include precedents in history, very many examples,
and I share techniques. Also useful is a brief introduction to some of the related issues in working
with nature this way.
Fees, costs, contracts and budgets are discussed at the time of the initial interview.
Seminars, slide lectures, demonstrations, available.
Tree sculptures
Commissions for tree projects are accepted based on locale, time frame, and the negotiation of
maintenance issues. Fees, costs, budgets and contracts are negotiated at the initial interview.
Park equipment including Jungle gyms, seating, fencing, arch entrance-ways, path lighting with
electric wire in the tree, water fountains with piping in the tree are all possible.
See further examples of project possibilities on the Gallery page.
Consultation on a fee basis is provided for design applications and installation of tree
sculpture at public, private and institutional sites. Consultation is offered on grafting and pleaching
techniques as well as pruning steps and soil amendments. Advice is available for a tree sculpture on
suitable designs and the selection of trees. Design suggestions are available for large commercial
applications such as: fencing, architectural structures, eye catchers and logos.
Seminars, slide lectures, demonstrations, are also provided.
