Tel Aviv was the first, Modiin is the second city to introduce ‘edible forests’ to their inhabitants: fruit gardens, orchards and vegetables planted by volunteers under the supervision of the city administration or ‘Hava and Adam’ ecological farm experts and free for the public.
The idea is to provide free fruit and vegetables for people who enjoy harvesting. The project begun last spring in Tel Aviv’s HaYarkon with a half-acre orchard including avocados, grapefruits, lemons, mangos while the orchard on Rechov Kislev in the Cramim neighbourhood in Modiin was opened in July.
