Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - View Single Post - Urgent! We should put fruit/nut trees in schools & parks!!

This is want we are working on... an edible landscape where most of the trees and plants produce food. I would love to see edible landscapes for parks and recreational areas as well. I would like to add that some concerns of those with producing trees is the problem of fruit flies from the fallen fruit and that this can be an underlying reason why it is done in parks. However, if communities turn their parks into public gardens I suspect this is less likely to happen. Notices should be posted for harvest days as well and include family potlucks.

If I were designing a community the public park would be at the heart of it where everyone can gather for outdoor community events.
