Agnes Meyer-Brandis began her stay at the Hyytiälä station with getting acquainted with the staff and the other researchers. In order to meet people in the research forest, she built a table, that formed a meeting point and a place for tea breaks between the scientists, Agnes and a tree; Have a Tea with Me and a Tree.
In August 2015 a permanent Tealemetree Station was opened at SMEAR II research forest as a public art work. The station is documented by webcam, and the images can be seen below. The table was build by a puuguru Jelle van der Beek. Erkki Siivola, Juho Aalto and Pasi Aalto from University of Helsinki helped with installing the webcam. The table was built with the support by Kone Foundation.
