Fruit Tree Planting Foundation

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I think that using urban spaces to plants fruits and vegetables is a good idea. It matters because a lot of outdoor urban space is just filled in with grass; it could be used better to plant something that is edible and/or healthy for pollinators.

At first glance, I don't think that this article provides a lot of information. It's only two paragraphs and both of them are relatively short.

The lead section is concise and describes what the company does. However, it lacks depth and there are no other sections of the article besides the lead. It's also very generic; there are no specific references to projects this company has actually completed. The content appears to be up to date and includes five references to other articles related to urban gardening. I can tell that the article was written by the company's leaders, which I think gets rid of the possibility of there being a neutral point of view, but they don't say anything too controversial (besides using the term "TreeEO"). There are no images or additional media and nothing is published on the talk discussion page.

My overall impression of this article is that it is bare bones and that this company is not widely-known. I think that this article could be improved by adding pictures of their trees in urban environments, including a section on projects that they have contributed to (where and when they planted fruit trees), and then another section about the rise of the urban garden movement. Adding those elements would improve the experience of reading about this organization and also give the reader more context on what urban gardening can be.
