Participate in the care of this community orchard resource through joining monthly work parties!

If you're able to come, please bring personal pruning and/or landscaping tools, uniquely identified. And, of course, dress for the weather! We'll bring a 12-foot orchard ladder, some buckets and tools, and a canopy in case of rain. Hope to see you there!
