In Dion's backyard in Boston there was a Fig tree. Every Fall, his dad, watched by the six children, would wrap it up to protect it against the Winter weather. But where did the Fig tree come from and why was it so important to him? Mary Menniti runs the Italian Garden Project and she knows the answers to these questions. She has travelled across America gathering the stories of these Fig trees.
