Location: Cumberland Community Orchard

Join Aaron Parker of Edgewood Nurseries as we walk around the orchard site in preparation for the first planting of trees on May 5th, learning about the soil food web, how to care for our soils, and what we can do to manage our gardens (and orchards) for better water retention. For those that would like to help out, the educational presentation will be followed up by a few hours of prep work to get the tree planting sites ready.

The Lawns Gone Wild educational series is offered in partnership with the Prince Memorial Library and the Town of Cumberland’s Sustainability and Orchard Committees.
