Join the Common Orchard Project in creating a new public orchard!

Orchards can be less work to produce food over time, compared to vegetable gardens, but installation is quite labor intensive. To get these new public orchards off to a good start, we are organizing these volunteer days to make the work lighter for all! Come learn how to plant trees, fruit tree care, and meet neighbors who care as much as you do.

Typically we will be planting 10-15 trees and laying down black plastic to remove the grass. All tools and gloves provided, just bring a water bottle and wear appropriate outdoor clothing to dig holes and plant trees. We will have locally grown fruit and other snacks.

Additional Information:

If you are able to join and sign up, please do follow through! It changes our plans and makes these days difficult if people change their minds at the last minute. We will give a reminder and notice of any extreme weather related changes of plans 2 days before the event.
