You've seen her work on our site (including the yoga photo above this paragraph!). Now, come view the work of certified arborist and gardener Stephanie Jeter. For years, Jeter has used photography to capture the forms and foliage of the Arboretum's plants. The images reveal Jeter’s deep affection for the Arboretum, on public display for the first time.
