On Earth Day, the Roots Down team made its way to Stonecrest Library. The perfect breeze and light blues skies accompanied us, in addition to music from Plantlanta and refreshing infused drinks from Georgia Routes.
The Stonecrest Library is one of the Fruitful Community Initiative installments, in which Productive Urban Landscapes (PULs) are going to be installed throughout the county! To learn more about PULs read the What is a Productive Urban Landscape blog here.
District 5 Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson and her team were aiding us in breaking the ground by planting fig trees, pineapple guava, and many other fruit trees that will bloom for a great edible community space.
The Stonecrest Library is an awesome place to install a PUL. The citizens now have an amazing outdoor space to enjoy picking fruit and reading a book. Read more about the benefits of having PULs at libraries here. At the Stonecrest Library, there is room to soak up the sun or sit in the shade.
