Wouldn’t it be cool to have a fruit orchard in Cle? From GreenCityBlueLake:
“Edy’s Fruit Bars is running a contest to plant a fruit orchard on a city lot somewhere in America. Greater Cleveland has six potential sites selected by the company to compete against hundreds nationally. They include Vel’s Purple Oasis (a 1.5 acre market garden on a vacant property in Cleveland’s Fairfax neighborhood); The Cleveland Botanical Garden’s Buckeye Green Corps. garden; a vacant lot on Cleveland’s west side/Cudell neighborhood; the site of Trinity Lakewood Community Outreach; Case Western Reserve University’s Farm Food Program site in Hunting Valley; and City of Bedford Heights community garden. Register here and then vote for one or all of the Cleveland area contestants (you can vote once per day; currently, the Cleveland sites are way behind the leaders).”
You can vote once a day by Tue 5/31.
