glorious trees

at the moment we are trying to hatch a plan to install "urban orchards" in our neighborhood (one at the corner across from our house and the other at the london ferrell community garden).  there is a group in boston that's been doing this stuff for almost 20 years - www.earthworksboston.org.  their work is inspiring the template for our designs here.

i have a special neighbor and friend that is working with me to make this fruit tree dream a reality.  the other day she sent this link to a ny times article - http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/12/science/12prof.html?_r=1&em&oref=slogin - wonderful report about the goodness of trees and what we've yet to learn about them.
