"My project, which takes the form of a conceptually rich, sculptural garden, draws connections between ancient culture and modern science, seeking to bring awareness to some of the most interesting and important ways in which humans and trees relate, questioning the sidelined place of trees in our modern lives," said Kendler, by Community contributor naperville park district according to the  Chicago tribune. 

The art work is a sculptural garden with seven trees that are presented in two ends by upended tree root plates. The work is a reminder to the people of today's generation on how important trees are in the world. The hidden tree messages are the focus of this art work. It is a time where visitors are given a space to connect with the natural world as they discover the seven trees. The work began on the 12^th of July and will be kept for show from the 6^th of August.

The Nature Art Week will include a make-and-take art/craft project, tree-related self-guided activities, tree-identification walks, and platforms for children and adults to meet the artists. On the 14^th of August, a meet and greet session will be held for visitors to join artist, Jenny Kendler to understand and discover more about the art work that is presented.
