Come and learn all about our public orchard system in 16 locations throughout the City. This event is happening during a Pop-Up Play event, so there will be all kinds of games and activities available, too.
Public orchards are designed to create an inclusive and interactive experience for all to enjoy, by:
▪ Producing organic food to be shared
▪ Educating ourselves and our neighbors
▪ Improving and beautifying public spaces
In the city, there are 12 apple variations as well as one cherry tree variation. Merritt Park is one of the 16 orchard locations. Because it is public, there is no guarantee there will be apples, however you can learn where else you can find apples and cherries in park spaces!
