Trees perhaps occupied first place in Thomas Jefferson’s hierarchy of favorite garden plants. This two-hour walking tour explores the natural history of Monticello’s exotic and native trees. Learn to identify about fifty species through an understanding of their ornamental, cultural, and historical character. This will be a relaxed morning ramble through a typical central Virginia hardwood forest.
