70 Inspired Trees

From Arbor-Inspired Space Savers to Fast Food Forests

— October 28, 2009 — Eco
Trees are an important part of our lives so it’s not surprising that trees have inspired many designs and ventures. But I don’t want to bring your attention to anything tree-like, such as logs and treehouses, I want you to appreciate the tree as a whole. So I’ve compiled a cluster celebrating inspired trees lest we forget just how important they are in our everyday lives.
