520    "Farmers' markets and local eating might have 
       revolutionized the way we look at food, but many of us 
       can't identify the fruit trees in our yards or declare a 
       berry safe to eat. Those plants, and the people who 
       planted them. are often forgotten. In The Fruitful City, 
       Helena Moncrieff investigates the origins of these living 
       heirlooms, their decline into raccoon fodder, and the 
       urban harvest renaissance that is putting rescued fruit to
       good use. As she travels across Canada, slipping into 
       backyards, visiting community orchards and taking in 
       canning competitions, Moncrieff asks, Can city-grown fruit
       address hunger, waste, and food illiteracy? What can a fig,
       plum or apple tree teach us about our history, our 
       communities, and each other?"--Back cover.
