We all had to learn the tree poem in third grade, right? ?I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree?? is the first stanza in Joyce Kilmer?s famous ode to trees, and those two lines probably pop into your mind when spring comes around and trees turn absolutely outrageous in color and blossom. One of the best places to go to see the natural fireworks is Longenecker Gardens at the UW-Madison Arboretum on the west side.
