What a great group of individuals. Common Vision is a tour group that travels all throughout California planting fruit trees in communities and schools. Now in it's 5th year commonvision has had a great positive influence to all they come in contact with. With their love and understanding of being one with nature truly inspires many.

"Fruits of your labor" is understanding and respecting your planet, your surroundings and how it gives back to you when you take care of it. From apples to oranges, your back yard, school and community can yield much wealth.

Abiding by the age-old proverb "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" will no longer have to mean a trip to the supermarket for those who decide to plant fruit trees in their surroundings.

Support Common Vision by inviting them in your school or community. Talk to your teachers and/or community leaders.

Common Vision Mission Statement

Our programs primarily offer earth education to underserved communities in urban and rural areas focusing on healthy food access, tree canopy cover, relationship with the environment, local action in a global ecosystem, and cultivation of a modern earth care culture.

Our courses offer training in permaculture with the goal of developing leaders with the scope, context, and experience to champion solution-focused strategies in the fields of global warming, renewable energy alternatives, and rainwater harvesting for structures and landscapes.

If your school or community is interested in participating please contact michael@commonvision.org, and download the “Information for Schools Packet – FTT 2008”

The packet contains most of the information needed to begin organizing a day-long planting program with Common Vision including: Overview of program, scheduling, key concepts covered, cost, scholarships, fund raising, and using California School Learning Garden grant money towards the program.

Applications are considered on a first-come first-serve basis.
