Abstract:

Asheville GreenWorks started a program to plant fruit tree or shade trees orchards in Asheville neighborhoods. The project is intended to provide shade and beauty to neighborhoods and to teach individuals about healthy food to help fight childhood obesity and poor nutrition practices. Additionally, these spaces provide a sense of neighborhood pride as the program trains community members to care for the trees and trees are dedicated to members of the community nominated by residents.
