Neighborhood Fruit

I'm setting up a discussion about collecting and sharing neighborhood fruit. One way of getting the word out about Code Green Community is promoting our individual neighborhoods to share their fruit tree information on the internet. We could walk around our neighborhoods and ask that our neighbors use this site:

http://neighborhoodfruit.com/

To share where their fruit is and what type. This could bring us more members as well as introduce our neighborhoods to the ideas of  localized food using what we can grow in our backyards rather then supermarkets.

Tell me your thoughts. Lets work collaboratively on engaging our neighborhoods to form individual Code Green Communities with our own neighbors.

Yeah I helped several times to create that garden. Nancy is a great woman! We need School gardens all throughout the county.

On June 8, 2010, I got to go see an "Edible School Garden" at High Point Elementary School, Clearwater, Fl.
The school's Resource Room teacher, Nancy McClelland started a beautiful garden outside the back of the school in June 2009. The garden is a beautiful success! There are many varieties of fruits (and vegetables) in this school garden. The progress of this garden in one year is phenomenal! The cooperation among faculty, school staff, and students to make this garden grow, is magnificent. This is a spectacular idea for part of the school day for children lucky enough to have this type of expertise shared with them. The teacher has applied and won various grants so that equipment could be purchased to use within the garden. This idea should be replicated in ALL FIFTY STATES as soon as possible!
