What a fantastic day everyone! Families from all around our community came for our community cherry harvest this year and the hardest workers were all under three feet tall!

We gathered the cherries in bowls and then, once the trees had been fully harvested, we divided up the bounty so that all participants had a share of the harvest. Thanks for joining us! And thanks to the amazing Ben Nobleman Park Volunteers who helped to ensure that the event went smoothly!

Check out the images below.

If you don’t want to fight weeds on a daily basis, mulching your garden with cedar or wood mulch is a great idea. And with a huge pollinator garden that is more than 40 feet long, the Ben Nobleman Park Community Orchard volunteers gathered this weekend to get started!

We had over 75 people of all ages come to join us in the Ben Nobleman Park Community Orchard this weekend!

People came from all around our neighbourhood to enjoy Starbucks coffee and Butterbox Cookies and to participate in a tour of our community orchard!

It was a chance for neighbours to meet the park volunteers to learn about our project and what we have achieved in the past 14 years.
