Illustrator Thibaud Herem is nurturing a homegrown arboretum in his flat in Clapton. With over 30 species of tree ranging from oak to Japanese maple to giant redwood, this is a documentation of his obsession as well as a visual exploration of the beautiful shapes and forms found in nature. Within a personal narrative, this little book includes fascinating informa- tion about the trees, the process of planting and cultivating them, and musings on society’s relationship to the architecture of trees. Gorgeously illustrated and presented, this is a lovely, thoughtful gift book for garden- ers, hobbyists and illustration enthusiasts.
