Check out the progress we’ve made on the public orchard at GROW:
To say our plans for the public orchard are ambitious would be an understatement. GROW has planted what will someday be an expansive public orchard containing more than a hundred fruit and nut trees, plus additional flora to benefit native pollinators. What is a public orchard? Well it's an orchard by the people, for the people! Our vision for the GROW orchard is to create a sustainable food production site that is cared for by the community and distributed freely to both people and wildlife as a part of the permaculture park concept. Members of the Orchard Team will continue the work of planting new trees, help provide protection and care for them, and help us maintain the orchard as we continue to develop it. Tasks may include:
mowing grass
operating a weed-eater
planting trees
mulching trees
tagging trees
pruning trees (in subsequent years)
being a docent in the orchard at our community outreach events
