Town Tree

Trees bear witness to a neighborhood’s history.

As people come and go, trees stay put, quietly gathering stories and sustaining our urban landscape in ways we rarely stop to notice. Ipso’s Town Tree celebrates the forest right outside our doors, inviting us to look up, listen closely, and get to know our trees more like neighbors.

Join us for the opening reception, which will feature paintings by Paul Peterson and Mark Stemwedel as well as the release of Paul DeJong’s new book, Trees of All Saints & McKennan Park. Art directed by Fresh Produce, the book will be available for the first time at Ipso Gallery. Signed copies of the book will be available at Ipso Gallery at Fresh Produce on Friday, May 22.

Book Details

Trees of All Saints & McKennan Park is a walk through the neighborhood with a true lover of trees who can tell you the story behind every knot and hollow. It’s a field guide that teaches younger generations about local urban forestry while encouraging families to get outside and explore their neighborhood.

Paul DeJong’s hope is that this project marks the beginning of a movement—one that spurs efforts to enhance the neighborhoods, creating a lasting legacy and inspiring future generations to keep the spark alive.

Signed copies of the book are available for $30.00 at Ipso Gallery at Fresh Produce.
