Now this is cool: Artist Sam Van Aken will be combining public art and environmental preservation with his upcoming display: The Open Orchard on @governorsisland.
.
Did you know that fruit trees, like peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, and apples used to be common in the NYC region? With this @Kickstarter campaign, Sam will bring these native varieties back and in an exciting way: by grafting different trees together! These handcrafted trees contain multiple, heirloom and rare fruits that originated in the NYC region and tell the story of its agricultural history over the last 500 years.
.
The Open Orchard will be a lasting, living portrait of our agricultural past and an urgent reminder of what has been lost.
