Context
Looking at the historical data on a spreadsheet doesn’t always paint a full picture of the scale and lives of the cherry trees in the arboretum. Beyond charts, we wanted to see how we could represent the data in an abstract and visually engaging way.

Design
Visualized are 9 distinct groups of cherry tree subspecies that exist in the Washington Park Arboretum. The visual model takes into account a single group’s total age, average age, number of trees, min/max age, etc.
