Some of the lore of trees will include: · Hackberry Tree – encourages someone to continuously do their best · Manchineel Tree – it is so toxic that the smoke from a burning tree can cause blindness, and it is not even advised to inhale the air around the tree · Bark from the Bird Cherry Tree was placed on doors during medieval times to ward off plague · Washi paper is created from the inner bark of the Paper Mulberry Tree. · Pando is a Quaking Aspen colony that is 108 acres wide (about the size of 83 football fields!).

Where learning its meaning and value simultaneously improves your own mental and physical wellness? Throughout history, floriographies—flower dictionaries—have gained notoriety for regulating human emotions; giving depth, symbolism, and meaning to extremely delicate aspects of nature.  Coupled with two indexes, one for searching by common tree name and the other organized by meaning, Dietz cleverly connects quality time in nature with the overall improvement of mental health by developing a stunningly depicted dictionary for gardeners, environmentalists, and nature lovers alike.
