This young POC man attended his first workshop at Welland & enjoyed it. He was telling me that he's planning to grow his small apple tree in a large pot, on his apartment balcony 🙂 We helped him select a dwarf apple variety to graft for his small space needs.

Our community learning workshops are fun, affordable (we have sliding scale available), in a beautiful orchard setting.
Many folks end up making new, local, like-minded friends through participating in our various workshops at Welland 😊

Re: above post, 3rd photo.
The man in the green hat/pants/jacket had offered to help me & my Mom with topping & pruning some of our backyard fruit trees. I'm grateful for that offer. He only wants some free fruits come harvest time for helping us out. We'll be giving him some free herbs & veggies from our gardens, come harvest time, because we really appreciate the offer to help out!
My friend Jada & I tell folks that we picked each other up in the orchard 😆 It's true. We met before I started doing contract work with LifeCycles. It was at an arts in the orchard day. We've been good friends, ever since 😊
