Today the president of the Baltimore Orchard Project, Deborah Howard, joins the podcast to talk about how the volunteer run non-profit plants fruit trees across the city. The team has planted over 2,000 fruit trees across Baltimore, Maryland, since 2012 and has harvested over 16,000 pounds of fruit. Much of which is given to non-profits and food banks to help those in need.
