Join us for an evening with New York Times bestselling author Amy Stewart at the 2025 Ruth Borun Lecture Series. On Friday, May 9, 2025, at the LA Zoo’s Witherbee Auditorium, Stewart will take us on a journey into The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, her latest book exploring the extraordinary people whose lives have been transformed by their passion for trees. Best known for her popular non-fiction works The Drunken Botanist and Wicked Plants, Stewart expected to find horticultural fanatics driven to plant every species of oak or maple. Instead, she uncovered something far more profound—a deep, personal connection between people and trees rooted in community, vision, and healing. Don’t miss this chance to hear Amy Stewart share the fascinating stories behind The Tree Collectors and meet fellow plant and nature enthusiasts. Reserve your spot today!
