In his essay entitled "History," Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote that, "The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." What better way to celebrate a gorgeous spring than to apply the truth of this maxim? Today is Arbor Day, and all across the United States, people are planting trees. But whether or not you've planned to get dirt under your fingernails, today is a great day to brush up on your arboreal knowledge. Don't know where to start? Subclass QK of our circulating collection is all about botany and features books that cover every aspect of trees from visual guides to their natural history.
