#communityconnecting — Public Fediverse posts

I'm running with another grassroots community building/community sharing idea. This will be implemented in about August & run into early September.

My idea:

A neighbourhood arts & crafts public show with live demos, in our front & back yards. Neighbours can display their own arts & crafts for viewing. I would set up a kids creative station, where kids can create what they want & have fun with free arts/crafts with other neighbourhood kids. There would be live arts/crafts demos & some workshops for people to create something.

I'll contact local businesses & obtain donations for supplies needed. I'll seek community grant funding too, so I can make it an annual or bi-annual neighbourhood community event 😊

If you're interested in #FruitTree #grafting #HandsOn #education, see info below.

Learn the basic skill and knowledge you need to start grafting and graft your own heritage apple tree to take home!

This #workshop will describe the reasons for grafting, when to graft, and when to collect budwood. The workshop will be hands on and participants will be introduced to tree terminology, grafting tools and materials, and will be shown various grafting techniques. Participants will get the chance to practice their new skills on spare branches and once confident, do an actual graft. Each participant will be able to choose an apple variety from the heratige collection at Welland Orchard to graft on to a dwarfing rootstock, to create a new apple tree to take home.

All tools and materials will be provided.

Be sure to come dressed for the elements as this workshop will be held outdoors.
