Ep 167. The Gift of a Giant Umbrella Pine

In this episode, we share a visit to the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morristown, NJ, which came with an extraordinary surprise—the arrival of the Gift of a Giant Umbrella Pine. The story includes insights from those involved in the arrival: Bruce Crawford, Kristen Prommel, Mark Adelle, and Lori Jenssen. Plus, a tour of other treasures in the Conifer Collection.  We wrap up reflecting on a special onlooker, a two-year-old boy who teaches us no matter our age, if we encounter unexpected things, watch and marvel, because wonder is the beginning of wisdom. I hope you enjoy the story. Thank you for tuning in. Related Stories & Helpful Links:The Gift of a Giant Umbrella Pine - Blog PostGentle Strength of Umbrella Pine – Blog Post Ep 87.
