Community Orchard Planning and Pruning with Ignatius Farm

It’s orchard preparation and pruning time and we need your help!

This is a chance for any community member to learn skills in fruit tree care and contribute to a community legacy. In the morning, we will define the community orchard, the seasonal tasks and how the orchard collective will work together this season. After lunch we’ll spend some quality time pruning the trees. Come for the whole event, or either the planning or pruning session. Pruning will be led by Matt Soltys, The Urban Orchardist.

• 10:00 am - 12:00 pm – Discussion defining the community orchard, the orchard tasks, activity calendar, how we’ll work together.  Feedback from 2024 season welcome. Meet: Loyola House
• 12:00 pm – Lunch break (bring your own). Coffee/tea provided
• 12:30 - 2:30pm – Orchard Pruning Meet: Loyola House parking lot

Sign up by February 26 at noon. Max room capacity 20, register early.
