Love On A Limb is an endearing new Hallmark movie that is making its way to television this weekend. With Fall and Autumn setting in, Hallmark fans are looking forward to all of the upcoming holiday movies. Love On A Limb is about a park and recreation’s employee who chains herself to an old oak tree to keep it from being chopped down. Hallmark’s Love On A Limb is directed by Mel Damski and written by Erik Patterson and Jessica Scott. According to the Internet Movie Database, Love On A Limb, which was originally titled Seeds of Love, stars Ashley Williams as Aimie, Trevor Donovan as Kyle, Jefferson Brown as Mayor Tom Parker, and Marilu Henner as Zee.

Love On A Limb Hallmark Movie: Synopsis

Aimie Roarke is a quick-witted worker at the local park and recreations board in the town of Ample Hills. She is known around town for her charity work and her involvement with the local animal shelter and the many bake sales held by the fire department. One thing about Aimie, she cares about her job and her town. And when she finds out that an old oak tree in the historic district is going to be chopped down, a shocked Aimie does everything in her power to stop it.

However, Aimie has a huge task on her hands as she has to fight Tom Parker, the town mayor, and the man he hired to do the job, Kyle Sorenson. Kyle is a handsome and rugged landscaper who tells Aimie that the beautiful tree is causing too much root damage and must be cut down.

What Kyle doesn’t know is that Aimie is not one to back down. Beginning her mission to save the tree by creating public awareness and passing out fliers, it’s only a matter of time before Aimie shocks everyone by literally chaining herself to the old oak tree.

Instead of cutting through her, Kyle decides to try to reason with Aimie to get her to change her mind, but as they spend more time together, it’s obvious that the old tree is growing new roots of love.

True-Story Cases

It looks like the producers of Hallmark took a little real-life inspiration from some true story cases. Here are a few below.

  • 1988: Nann Von Oppenheim chained herself to a Eucalyptus tree in New Port Beach. The tree was known for shading the area beautifully, the Los Angeles Times reported.
  • 1989: The Deseret News reported that Kaymarion Raymond was arrested after chaining herself to an 80-year-old maple tree in West Hampton.
  • 2015: An Alabama woman refused to remove herself from an ancient maple tree that was to be cut down in Downtown Mobile. She detached herself from it after police threatened to arrest her, according to WKRG.
