#ThrowbackThursday
A decade ago, when I was at Wheelie's Motorcycle Cafe/Bar to help raise funds for a local marginalized children's bicycle access grassroots program that my friend, Mike Harrison, created/ran. I watched his kids grow up over the years.

#GuidedTours of the #CommunityOrchard is by public donation with all funds going back into orchard needs/upkeep/stewardship. We are grassroots nonprofit.
The tour will be followed by a Welland Orchard Work Party from 1pm-3pm. If you plan to attend both, feel free to bring a lunch and enjoy a picnic in the orchard. For more information about the work party or to sign up, please visit the Gleaning Hub at https://gleaning.lifecyclesproject.ca

Come on out & #volunteer for fun #signmaking at #WellandCommunityOrchard with me & others!
There's 2 days for new signs making work to be done. I'll be there on both days π
Monday, July 21st, 10am-12pm.
Sunday, July 27th, 1pm-3pm.
Join in as we start on a new project of creating some beautiful and engaging #signage in the orchard. Together we will be working on sanding, painting and varnishing wooden signs to label each fruit tree in the orchard! Artistic skills are welcome but not required.
You can register for all volunteer shifts on the Gleaning Hub:

The Monday sign making #workparty is followed with an afternoon orchard work party - we need help with pruning fruit trees, weeding & general orchard care duties.

Our current #information handouts for the public. All have been updated for this year.
I'm putting some into my little free library on Kamloops Ave(only LFL on the street). I helped with the Welland Community Orchard map/brochure.
More helping hands are always welcome! Come & help us out with local food security efforts, if you live in Victoria/Saanich/Esquimalt & surrounding areas! There's several different projects to choose from:
