Nancy Hugo
Nancy Hugo has had the privilege of living among trees, writing about trees, and learning about trees for most of her life. As garden columnist for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, education manager at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, and writer for publications including Horticulture, Fine Gardening, and American Forests, she has been combining her love of the outdoors with her love of the written word for almost 40 years. Author of five books, including Seeing Trees and Trees Up Close, Nancy led the initiative to locate and celebrate Virginia’s oldest, most historic, and most interesting trees, a four-year project that resulted in the publication of Remarkable Trees of Virginia.
