Chicago Shares the
Passion of Being Green
Many people see the results of a great design with
beautiful plants and mature trees in the
landscape. What does it take to grow, design,
install, and maintain Chicago's urban green space?
We will interview the growers, landscapers, and
arborists that make it all happen. Join Jennifer
Hitchcock to learn how growers train a tree for
years before it's ready to plant, see landscapers
install thousands of plants in the medians on
Michigan Avenue before dawn, or the tree climbers
who prune large trees over 60 feet tall to keep
trees healthy. There is a lot that goes on...don't
you want to know how its done the green way?
