As part of the ongoing fruit tree project a wonderful opportunity has come our way: the chance to learn about planting fruit trees and bushes up at Sunshine Farm.

This coming week both Wed 26th and Thurs 27th we will explore:

  • choosing the right site
  • what to bring together to mix to encourage rooting and growth
  • suitable varieties
  • aspects of pruning

With the help of a backhoe we will be planting Chinese pears, walnut, olive, chestnut, grapes, Saskatoon berry, blueberry and apples. We will also get a chance to help pick apples.

We will meet at the Hall at 12:30 to carpool up or if you are already up island we will meet you there at 1:00.

PLEASE RSVP as we can only accommodate a maximum of 8 people.
