Overview of Idea

Growing Food & Social Fabric: Ediblescape builds community vibrancy & resilience by incorporating edible trees, shrubs, vines and other forageable plants into public green space ("softscape") with an initial target of 10% edible by December 2013.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

The $5,000 will fund outreach, engagement and demonstration projects in Los Angeles and Orange County. Primary objectives:
– Create awareness (pull) locally/regionally
– Conduct outreach & engage/build local community networks
– Establish processes & relationships
– Build a social/sharing site (leverage existing platform) that supports:
– Collaboration & learning
– Organic, self-sustaining growth/scaling of the ediblescape concept
– Benefits from/contributes to the broader urban vibrancy & sustainability/resilience movements.
