Ann McClellan is delighted to share her enthusiasm for trees and their stories, an interest that began when she grew up in New Jersey on an arboretum-like campus laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted. Her published work has focused on Japan's cherry blossoms in addition to bonsai, which led to her receiving the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays from the Government of Japan in recognition of her contributions toward introducing Japanese culture to Americans and promoting friendly Japan-U.S. relations.
