The Wych Elm Project is a celebration of one of Scotland's most important but often overlooked native trees. It features work by some of Scotland's leading craftspeople and makers using material from a giant and much loved wych elm that was felled in the Botanic Garden in 2003. It also reports on the wych elm community projects that combine creativity and conservation.

For more information visit the Wych Elm Project website or watch the Wych Elm video.

The Wych Elm exhibition  is accompanied by a beautifully illustrated, large format colour book, Wych Elm, which explores the botany, crafts, folklore and future of 'the phoenix tree'. For more details click the Publications page.

Supported by the Scottish Arts Council, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Forestry Commission Scotland.
