Show Notes
Helena Moncrieff, author of The Fruitful City: The Enduring Power of the Urban Food Forest, talks about the fruit that grows in cities.
Fruit plants often reflect the history of an area. Grape vines are common in neighbourhoods where a lot of residents have Mediterranean family roots; cherry trees are common in areas with large Ukrainian populations.
Moncrieff became interested in urban fruit and the people and stories behind it when her daughter joined Not Far From The Tree in Toronto, a fruit picking and sharing project.
