TreeTales

Even when we are not in places that are traditionally considered the outdoors, we hear nature’s echoes in everything around us.


This project is supported by Grow Wild, the national outreach programme of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Explore the Myths of Five Native UK Trees


TreeTales is an exploration of the myths, symbolism, and ecological wisdom of five UK native trees. It is designed to bring nature into spaces not traditionally considered the outdoors.


The experience unfolds through a series of interconnected elements that move between story, sound, image, and reflection, allowing visitors to explore the trees in their own way.
