On Sunday June 8 at 1 pm public edible landscape was installed on public property across from the town hall in Washington, Maine. Washington is 20 miles east of Augusta. I and the town conservation committee made this happen. More than a dozen volunteers brought their shovels and personal tools and got the job done in 2.5 hours. We planted 18 trees and 16 garden plots. Peaches, plums, American chestnut, shagbark hickory, wild highbush blueberries, wild raspberries, wild blackberries, wild strawberries, wild viburnums, wild Sedum purpurea, wild thimbleberries day lily, Rosa rugosa, chives, rhubarb, dahlias, jerusalem artichoke, wild cranberries, Allium species and others. All plantings are perennial and relatively low maintenance. Marked with signs.This is the only project of this type that incorporates wild indigenous foods, helps restore the American chestnut and educates people about foraging for nutritious, free food. https://facebook/groups/1419902954952453/
