As a native New Englander, apples and chestnuts were a mainstay of my diet growing up. During our seven years living in walking distance of the Cornell orchards, apples remained an accessible favorite well into adulthood. Three decades based in Costa Rica have made these comfort foods less frequently available to us. We have family who live minutes away from this botanic garden, so a visit to see this restoration project is likely.
Thanks as always to Margaret Roach for extending our wish list:
This botanic garden is determined to bring back the American chestnut tree and heirloom apples that taste like those grown 500 years ago. It won't be easy.
