All about apples
Skookum Gleaners (formerly the Fruit Tree Project) presents Harry Burton, apple expert and orchardist, visiting Powell River to make a presentation on the evening of Tuesday July 13 and a workshop on Wednesday July 14, all about apples, local food systems, and preserving heritage varieties. This is a rare opportunity to learn all about organic tree care, pruning, and orcharding techniques from one of our regional experts. For more information, contact gleaners@skookumfood.ca.
Please contact us if you want to get involved picking fruit this summer! Or if you have fruit trees that will need picking. All fruit goes to benefit the community.
