TEDxBoston - Lisa Gross - Civic Fruit

"At its core, the Boston Tree Party is a diverse coalition of organizations, institutions, and individuals coming together in support of civic fruit."

Lisa Gross, founder of The Boston Tree Party, has created a movement to plant a decentralized urban apple orchard that unites diverse communities across Greater Boston and provides thousands of free apples for all.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
