Our annual #LifecyclesProject #CommunitySharing Day is right around the corner on September 27th 🍏🍎🍐🍇

It will be hosted once again at #WellandCommunityOrchard from 11-3pm.
You're welcome to bike, or to try your luck at getting one of the parking spots. If you do not have mobility concerns or require transport of things such as strollers & walkers, consider avoiding trying to park right at the orchard. There's some street parking near the orchard as well, we just ask that you be concious of the neighbours. This year we will have a free shuttle bus from our warehouse at 808A Viewfield Rd out to Welland Orchard to alleviate the limited parking. It will make the following trips:

Leaves Lifecycles office:
-11am
-12pm
-1pm
-2pm

Leaves Welland
-11:30am
-12:30pm
-1:30pm
-3pm

Come out for a family friendly day of celebrating the harvest! We'll be giving away plenty of fruit, pressing fresh apple cider, our heritage apple tasting table will be back & we will have a #seedbomb making table as well as a #ScavengerHunt for the kids.

I hope to see you there!
Please bring a small bag if you'd like to take home some free fruits that we'll be giving to folks who want some 😊

I also signed up for another fun creative community workshop at the #WellandCommunityOrchard legacy park & taking my friend, Cassidy, to it.
#Printmaking in the orchard 😊 On Aug. 11th.
We'll learn how to design, carve & use #linocut stamps & how to use natural materials from some of the wonderful fruit species around the orchard to make #collagraph prints. We will get to #design & #create our own #stamps based on inspiration from the orchard & then use it in combination with collagraph techniques to print a pretty tote bag to take home.
