in order of appearance:

~ brussel sprout ~ artichoke ~ stevia ~ golden midget melon ~ strawberry + ? flower ~ amaranth + marigold ~ potato + kohlrabi + chamomile ~ agastasche tuttifrutti ~ french lavender ~ tigger melon ~ kale ~ calendula ~ amaranth + curry ~ marigolds, etc. ~ globe onion (the flower only lasted 1 week, it was a beautiful lavender ball that unfortunately we did not get a photo of while blooming) ~

this is our 2nd attempt at a kickstarter project.

( original updates found here : http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/littlefish/arboravita/posts )

although our 1st attempt was not as successful as we originally hoped (though immensely valuable in unforeseen ways), we have learned much from the experience & are applying the following changes to the new one:

~ extending the funding date : this will give more of a chance for the people that encounter the trees in their public venues an opportunity to participate if they wish. since the trees are already growing and investments already made, we would rather have folks find us organically rather than us forcing ourselves on our friends. however, as long as we hit our modest goal, our 1st distribution will be on the July new moon even though the funding has not yet officially ended. and if you wish to take advantage of the warm weather, seeds may be picked up/delivered earlier (seedbank list coming soon).

~ lowering our goal : we believe that everyone who wants to contribute & receive should be given an opportunity to do so without us continually online competing for scarce capital (we'd rather spend our time tending the trees and sharing stories), so we made our arbitrary funding hurdle comfortably low. if you want to join us, we love to have you. if not, no worries. either way, we wish you a bountiful garden season.

we have kept our rewards as-is as we believe they are quite competitive in quality & quantity in comparison with other kickstarters out there. some additional items may also appear as well as some additional plant varieties (ahem, tomatoes).

muchas gracias to lmr400 for joining once again and being wise enough to take some herbs this time. you got 1st dibs on whatever you wish from the list. feel free to email us your preference and we'll snap a photo for a virtual taste.
