Join us on Saturday, September 16 for a celebration of the bountiful late summer harvest from 10am to 4pm.

We will have activities running from 10am onwards including a ‘Planning and Community Orchard’ workshop hosted by the City of Victoria (preregister for this with the City of Victoria), Fernwood ­Community Centre garden and orchard tour & harvest, community apple pressing, native seed ball making, and—in the spirit of gathering—a community potluck ­starting at 12pm. Bring your bottles and jugs to take home freshly pressed apple juice with fruit donated from Lifecycles. You can also bring your own apples from your apple trees to press.

The day of community frolicking will be rounded off with Fernwood NRG’s annual AGM meeting which members of the ­public are encouraged to participate in.

Fernwood NRG’s AGM will be held from 2pm to 2:30pm at the Fernwood Community Centre at 1240 Gladstone Avenue. If you would like to become a member for Fernwood NRG, you can sign up fernwoodnrg.ca/become-a-member. It’s free.

We hope to see you there!
