Monastero di Astino, Bergamo - 17 settembre
Henrik Sjöman
Associate Professor at Swedish University of Agricultural Science, Scientific Curator at
Gothenburg Botanic Garden, and Honoree Research Associate at Royal Botanic Garden Kew.
Henrik´s work is focused on developing knowledge of plant-use for urban environments. His work is mainly focusing on developing knowledge of site adapted plant use for urban environments. How the capacity of different trees and shrubs will vary in context to its urban environment and in delivering ecosystem services has become the prime driver in his work and as such how to extend the knowledge of diversifying the urban treescape in a future climate.​​
​
Sjöman is co-author, together with Arit Anderson, of "The Essential Tree Selection Guide: For Climate Resilience, Carbon Storage, Species Diversity and Other Ecosystem Benefits", an innovative resource aimed at temperate regions across the globe. The book presents an integrated, evidence-based approach to tree selection, systematically addressing the wide range of ecosystem services that trees can provide.
GARDEN MASTERCLASS 2025
The art of choosing the right tree for place and function, using different urban case studies
Do you want to know which plant is ideal for your project? Or whether it will still be suitable in 10 years, considering climate change?
Join the exclusive masterclass with Henrik Sjöman, author of Tree Selection Guide, on September 17 in Bergamo (limited to only 30 participants).
​
The masterclass will focus on selecting the right tree for the right place and function, balancing aesthetic, environmental, and urban needs.
