The Davey Tree Expert Company was founded in 1880 and is a venerable name in arborism and landscape care. The company is employee owned and has offices across North America and Canada. Metropolitan Gardening asked for an interview regarding their sponsorship and involvment with a unique foundation celebrating the reknewal and care of notable trees - The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF). Sandra L. Reid Manager, Corporate Communications/Marketing responded with a solid clarity about the TCLF and how Davey provides support for the trees selected.
 “MG: What attracted you to the The Cultural Landscape Foundation?
We were impressed with The Cultural Landscape Foundation’s Landslide program.  We felt the “Every Tree Tells a Story” 2010 Landslide focus was aligned with our Davey brand.  TCLF Founder and President Charles Birnbaum has a collaborative spirit and builds partnerships.  We were impressed with the participation of Garden Design and American Photo and the renowned project photographer team.   
MG: How is Davey involved with Landslide 2011?
Davey is the presenting sponsor for The Cultural Landscape Foundation Landslide program.  Our support includes the program sponsorship and support for the photo exhibition.   Davey’s partnership with TCLF expanded in 2011 to a full Season of Events sponsor.
MG: Do you provide more than financial support?
The Davey Company provides both financial and promotional support.  The 2010 program support expanded beyond the photo exhibition to include an outdoor exhibition and the beautiful “Every tree Tells A Story” calendar. We are committed to promotional support for the 2011Landslide program and “Landscape I Love” calendar.
MG: What sort of projects do you expect that the Landslide 2011 will bring?
Since 1880, our business has been natural resource preservation. Our founder, caretaker of the green space at a local memorial garden, believed plants always have stories to tell. They announce spring with a burst of color and dazzle the landscape in autumn. They enhance our communities and bear witness to the moments in our lives, both the exceptional and the ordinary.
The goal of Landslide is to draw immediate and lasting attention to threatened landscapes and unique features.
MG: What specific outcome will you see for Davey as a result of your sponsorship of TCLF?
Davey's support of The Cultural Landscape Foundation demonstrates a dedication to the preservation of trees and the environment for future generations so they can enjoy the aesthetic and social benefits a healthy landscape provides.
MG: Does Davey get to provide any of the tree care to the featured plants in Every Tree Tells a Story?

The Landslide program is a nomination based program.  The Davey Company was not involved with the selection of the featured trees.   
MG: What are some of the ways Davey has provided services at these sites?
Davey has care history with the Black Oak tree at Katewood.  http://tclf.org/sites/default/files/microsites/everytree/blackoak.html

    There are some Calgary tree experts who put on a similar presentation. It's really an interesting field to go in to.

Interview with Twig Terrariums

O k you're seeing a couple of serious interviews for ecofashion from the (capsule) show and you're wondering what's next? Well here's another company we found at (capsule) deep into green designs, that tailor makes it's wares, you could say they are bespoke because they will create to your individual needs and measurements and they use skinny little models too. They are TWIG TERRARIUMS and a fun thing for home and office fashion. MG:What gave you the idea to put little people and moss together? Twig:We're urbanites with nary a backyard between us except a little bit of concrete and a fire escape, so terrariums give us the sense of space and...acreage! Between us we now have dozens of backyards! Michelle has always been interested in botany, so of course she started the obsession. She found a cruet jar in her kitchen that she said was destined to become a terrarium. Katy soon followed suit and found a cute little mushroom-shaped jar. We both instantly

GREEN HUMOR: Green research question brain storming

Super Research idea generator for iPhone from Tapku was used to stimulate the following questions: What happens when green sustainability immerses work life? How does green sustainability spawn talking? What happens when green sustainability skews linguistics? How does green sustainability overwhelm narrow-mindedness? What will happen if green sustainability overwhelms local knowledge? Why does green sustainability finance user-generated content? What are the consequences when green sustainability writes user- generated content? How does gardening reorient postmodernism? Does gardening warp Cultural Studies? Does gardening pave apologies? What are the consequences when gardening pushs radio? Why does gardening mend awkward moments? How does urban farming hustle glamour?
