Urban Orchard
Announcing the launch of the Urban Orchard - a permaculture project to utilise neglected fruit trees in people’s gardens and share the fruits of our labour.
So what is an Urban Orchard?
• People who have fruit trees in their gardens who don’t have the time, interest or ability to look after them, share their trees with those who would love to have fruit trees to look after and harvest.
• The trees are cared for, they produce more, and the fruit is shared.
• The project will operate on the permaculture ethical principles of “earth care, people care and fair shares for all”.
Interested? We are launching a pilot project in the Manurewa and Gardens area on Sunday 8 October, 10:00am at the Beautifcation Trust, 38 Holmes Rd, Manurewa. We will be running a workshop/brainstorming session to decide how we will work together on the project, followed by lunch and a working bee on a fi g tree in Wattle Downs. Visit www.urbanorchard.nz... to learn more or contact us via info@urbanorchard.nz.
If you don’t live near Manurewa but are interested in the concept and setting up an Urban Orchard in your area – do email info@urbanorchard.nz to let us know.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Linda and Laurence
