Image of UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden Nursery Manager Taylor Lewis standing among the aisles of the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery, smiling and holding a flowering maple in one hand with a hand positioned on the opposite hip. Taylor has red hair, a beard, wears glasses and dons a welcoming smile. He is missed terribly.
