It’s Asheville’s Edible Park, and you probably have never been there. You need to go and check it out. The Citizen-Times has the story:

ASHEVILLE – Quality Forward is organizing a volunteer workday beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday to celebrate the 10th year of Edible Park, next to the Stephens-Lee Center on George Washington Carver Avenue.

The park grows service berries, Nanking cherries and mulberries in June and other edibles through the summer and fall, finishing with persimmons and medlars in November.

Volunteers are asked to bring food and drink, personal gardening supplies. Projects include pruning, thinning fruit, weeding, watering, and cutting back the weeds and brush.
