  1. One of my newer, younger neighbours (my Mom & her Mom became friends) came by to talk to me yesterday. She asked if I'm open to doing a brief presentation/mini workshop for our neighbourhood community in early June. I've agreed to teach a free frugal gardening mini workshop & will give away some free supplies for newbies to get started well. I pitched starting a neighbourhood seeds sharing library too because many people avoid the downtown area so they don't visit Victoria Seed Library, which is in the Central Victoria public library. She's keen on having a smaller community seeds library & is working on writing a community grant for that & for us to do more neighbourhood community building work.

    It's wonderful to be approached by a neighbour, who is wanting to actively collaborate on closer community building, right in our 'hood. Community grassroots collaborations sparks joy for me 😃💗

  12. Have you ever tasted a #pluot #fruit before?

    Pluots /ˈpluːɒt/ are later generations of complex hybrid between the Japanese plum, Prunus salicina (providing the greater amount of parentage), and the apricot, Prunus armeniaca.[6][7] The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling that of a plum. Pluots were developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.[8]

    Ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluot

    They're one of the 1st #FruitTrees to blossom in this area of the South Island. These are their #flowerbuds & early #blossoms 🤍

  14. 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.

    Please register in advance:
