Your Just a Minute Tree Story 

These short videos are less than a minute, they can be about any aspect of trees, it might be an  historical tree  story  or  even an ecological  tree story or a personal tree story.  It would be great if you can include a comment on how we might live better with the planet and the greater community of life. 

 

 

 

Why create your Tree Story? 

After crafting your own narrative, your tree story will be part of a traveling community,  your story will be presented to different audiences in exhibitions in China and Ireland and possibly elsewhere.  I am making artworks in response to a number of the Tree Stories. Making your Tree Story will be easier than ever with the on site Videographer at the Carlow Garden Festival .
