Philadelphia Orchard Project

Okay so remember how awesome picking and eating a few fresh strawberries was? Can you imagine walking home from class, school, work, etc and stopping to pick a few blueberries or almonds right in your neighborhood? That's a plan of the Philadelphia Orchard Project. You can check out a google-mapped view of what has been planted right here. There are a lot more apricot trees (which are in season!) in Philadelphia than I thought.

Right now I am imagining biking along the Schuykill River Trail to the Great Apple Tree , blanket under arm, and having a picnic of FFF (Fresh Free Fruit).
