reclaiming public space can be luscious!


god, how great is this:

When three professors from CalArts discovered that by California law, any fruit growing on or over public land is available to the public, they founded Fallen Fruit, a project that promotes urban food gathering. Fallen Fruit, based in Los Angeles, charts "public" fruit trees throughout the city, organizes group foraging expeditions, and plans to expand into other cities and venues, including a program called "Buddy Bags" in New York, which would collect bakery and restaurant refuse and assemble bags of clean, sanitary food to be given to the homeless.
