planting day at Edible Estate #15 (photos by Alison Malone)

…at Edible Estate #15 in Woodbury was a bit more tranquil than the heavy-duty sod/rock/log/dirt moving yesterday, but still hectic with hundreds of plants, trees, shrubs, vines, and seeds of many varieties being set out by myself and landscape architect Anna Bierbrauer – in the beds established  the day before – for teams of friends, family, neighbors, and volunteers following hot on our heels to plant while the aromatic haze of bread oven smoke wafted above us – foreshadowing the pizza making to come.
