@ProjectOrchard @AbundanceYork @proforma_ @SowtheCity @BecLupton end/ We're lucky. Much as the American people are drawn from across the planet: so, analogously, are our biodiversity collections. All told, a bio-cultural concatenation representing unparalleled regenerative potential for human and earthly solidarity. Pear diversity is power!

Quoted byToday, our volunteers cut scion at the world’s most diverse pear collection—the USDA's pear repository in Corvallis, OR. Frankly, decades in, it's a small civic miracle: a shared assent to the common good—and mutual trust, and long-earned friendship, carrying the whole thing.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: An ab$traction tyranny?

Why were @AgrarianSharing volunteers cutting scion from among 1K unique varieties at the world's most diverse pear collection, today? Applied diversity distinguishes coherence for real.Quoted byAn ab$traction tyranny? Bartlett, Anjou and Bosc account for 94% of all pears grown in the US.
