2028
The forest planted for the next century
What if everything had changed?
A fictional town chooses to grow a forest whose shade most founders will never see.
After a summer of extreme heat, residents turn an abandoned car park into a small nursery. The first seedlings fail because the plan ignores the soil beneath the asphalt. A gardener asks the town to begin again, slowly, with local knowledge and a range of suitable species. Children keep a record of every loss and every new leaf, creating a promise that can survive changes of leadership.
