See you in the Orchard! (fb)

A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined for Spring Planting Day yesterday! It was wonderful to kick off our growing season by planting some new trees, shrubs, and plants to help cultivate more abundant harvests for all to share and enjoy together. Special thanks to Erby for playing music, Ross for reading his poems, Nathan for leading the planting demo, and Stacey for helping with trivia. And a huge thank you to the volunteers, new and old, for coming out and helping weed, transplant, and plant at the Orchard. We couldn't have the Bloomington Community Orchard without your support. It was so lovely to see all the smiling faces and willing hands, and a true delight to share the space with you. We hope to see you in the Orchard again soon! (fb)
