Join Orion in the Food Forest: transplanting and seedball making
Embrace the autumn air, get your hands in the dirt, and help us nurture our local green spaces!
Join Orion and the Boston Food Forest Coalition for a special morning of community, education, and stewardship. Whether you are a longtime supporter or new to the food forest movement, this hands-on workday is a unique opportunity to learn about urban agriculture, connect with neighbors, and make a tangible impact on our shared environment.
After we roll up our sleeves for an hour of moving plants and making seedballs, we’ll reward ourselves with fresh, local apple cider and seasonal donuts!
