Creating Community Orchards – A Virtual Interest Group Meeting
September 26, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Join NAFEX for a virtual Interest Group meetup for fruit growers on creating community orchards, featuring The Giving Grove. The Giving Grove’s mission is to provide healthy calories, strengthen community, and improve the urban environment through a nationwide network of sustainable little orchards. They support neighborhood volunteers in planting and caring for fruit trees, nut trees, and berry brambles that improve the urban environment, increase tree canopy and provide a sustainable source of free, organically-grown food for neighborhoods facing high rates of food insecurity.
If you are involved with a community orchard, bring your stories to share.
The meeting will be held on ZOOM and by phone from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Central time. This virtual NAFEX Interest Group meeting is FREE with your $19 NAFEX membership. Plan to join us!
