The Argentine city full of fruit trees
o sink their fingers into the ground, uproot weeds, harvest fruit and even cut fresh chives to season the spaghetti sauce that they will be eating at lunchtime, to restore their energy so they can continue working in the afternoon. At this health center, the kitchen staff need only to walk a few meters each day to the organic garden to obtain fresh vegetables, fruit and spices to prepare food for hospitalized patients.
“We decided to plant the streets with tree species that were different from the typical ornamental ones, hoping to grow food that anyone could access,” explain the young co-founders, who have since added 13 volunteers to their team, most under 19 years old. “The idea is to eat fresh fruit from the streets, as has been done in other parts of the world,” says Podlesny, making reference to theexperience in the small town of Todmorden, England, where locals can consume free produce from more than 80 orchards and fruit plantations in public spaces.
The agreement ended when the club changed hands, so they moved the project to the municipal hospital. At first it seemed impossible to open a furrow with a shovel in the hospital’s nearly one-hectare stone floor, but the group worked hard and turned the place into a generous plot of land.tomato, rosemary and dozens of other fruits, vegetables and herbs perfume the garden. A plum tree produces between 100 and 120 kilos of fruit per year.
Aside from providing material, the group seeks to spread knowledge. They have set up a seed library with written records of what each person donates, and personal recommendations so that these species take root and grow well.
