Public Fruit

Public Fruit is a mapping of all the public fruit in our neighborhood. Public fruit is all fruit on or overhanging public spaces such as sidewalks, streets or parking lots.

Fruit is a resource that should be commonly shared, like shells from the beach or mushrooms from the forest.


Surfdale[edit]

Corner of Hamilton and Miami (across from Stefanos) is a small public space with a number of Kaffir Limes and a large Olive tree. The leaves of the Kaffir lime are widely used in Thai cuisine and apparently the oil from the rind also has strong insecticidal properties - which could be useful around here. The olive tree is large and prolific and seems to be cleansed of fruit by some enterprising soul at the appropriate time.

Guerilla Garden - appeared on Mitchell Road where the new wetland is being created (after Hooks Lane on the right). Beans, swedes, and other marrows abound. Help yourself but don't be greedy.

Ostend[edit]

Apparenty there are some chilli pepper plants in front of the council buildings ... need to confirm this.
