We’re reading The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer. A beautiful blend of scientific insight and Indigenous wisdom.

Why The Serviceberry? 🌿

Kimmerer invites us to see this humble fruit as a symbol of the gift economy, where wealth is measured not by what we accumulate, but by the strength of our relationships. Through the lens of nature, she explores gratitude, shared abundance, and the flow of gifts between humans, wildlife, and the land itself.

Whether you join us in person or online, come ready for an evening of thoughtful conversation about community, cooperation, and living in harmony with the natural world.

See you soon!

Our Tree of the Month is the Elm. Today we are focusing on our Triumph Elm, a “Tried & True” favorite.

The Triumph Elm (Ulmus japonica × wilsoniana × pumila ‘Morton Glossy’), is another Morton Arboretum selection in the Chicagoland Grows program. This elm’s elegant vase shape, glossy green leaves, and stunning yellow fall color make it a standout in any landscape.

WHY WE LOVE IT:

🌳 Rapid and reliable growth. It’s easily transplanted and thrives under varied conditions.

🌳 Exceeds expectations in disease resistance, Strong against Dutch elm disease, elm yellows, and elm leaf beetles.

GROWERS NOTES:

At a young age, Triumph Elm rewards patience and care. Consistent staking and vigilant attention to new shoots keep its signature form straight and strong as it matures.

2025 inventory season update. 🌳📏 Every Augus

2025 inventory season update. 🌳📏 Every August, the rhythm at the nursery shifts. The tractors still hum and the crews still work the rows but there’s a new kind of focus in the air. Inventory season is here!

Led by SGN Trees Grower Joey Thomas, our crew heads into the field with calipers in hand, measuring every tree. Using the InstaCaliper from 2nd Sight Bio, each reading uploads straight into our GrowPoint inventory system which turns rows of numbers into the story of our season.

Inventory isn’t just about counting trees, it’s about noticing the details. This year, we’re seeing strong, healthy growth across the board. Younger stock is filling out beautifully, and many varieties are right on schedule for fall digging or next spring’s harvest.

Here’s to another season of growth! 🌱✨
