Neighborhood volunteers and professionals from the Chicago Regional Trees Initiative planted 20 trees at a ceremony earlier this month.
Lydia Scott, left, director of the Chicago Region Trees Initiative at The Morton Arboretum, looks on as Clarence Henson, center, and Nicole Robinson plant a tree in a lot on the South Side of Chicago near the Calumet River on April 13, 2022.
“There’s this sincere and genuine need for connection” during the pandemic, Pierce said, and that extends to growing food and caring for plants. She’s seen more interest in fruit-bearing trees, community gardens and backyard improvements. Last summer neighbors and supporters came together to plant sunflowers and vegetables. There’s a big metal shed with a mural featuring flowers, trees and messages of goodwill. Long grasses and meandering paths give the oversized city lot an unplanned, natural look.
In keeping with the Land’s focus on fresh food and permaculture — a form of sustainable agriculture — the trees initiative provided pawpaw, persimmon and serviceberry, all trees that produce edible fruit.
