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]

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

RAVEN Trust - Respecting #AboriginalValues and #Environmental Needs #nonprofit based in #VictoriaBC.

Join RAVEN this weekend for another round of Solastalgia: Addressing #Climate Anxiety through #CommunityBuilding and #ArtMaking. This will be our second #zinemaking #workshop. We will come together to discuss our climate anxieties (and potential actions we can take to address them) through community building and art-making. This #handsOn zine-making workshop will offer an opportunity to express some of our fears, ideas, and dreams when it comes to a more just and livable future.

Two awesome facilitators leading this workshop. Aneri Garg, #RAVENTrust Development Coordinator, and Desiree Wallace, a documentary filmmaker, digital campaigner, and organizer with #StandEarth.
