At a busy corner in Newburgh you can see a striking cedar fence, with young trees growing alongside it. If you look closer, you can see that the fence actually weaves in front and behind the peaks of a large earthen berm, which is dotted with plants and elevates the garden above the sloping streetside. Beyond the fence you can see the fruits of native shrubs such as blueberries and blackberries, while vegetables grow alongside in raised agricultural beds. The fence, the trees, the berms, and the edible plant life are all part of a solution, a solution to the noisiness and visual clutter that crops up in urban environments.
