The harvest season is starting to stir – we’ve had several volunteer inquiries and fruit tree registrations in the last week or so… and even a couple of very small harvests (too small to make them picking events).
The THO committee meet last Friday and put a few plans in place for the coming season. We also had a look at some of the equipment that’s been purchased with our Community Impact grant from the City of Ballarat: here’s a few of your hardy committee modelling the new Joey picking bags we bought!
We’ll rough them up and make them looked used pretty quickly, I dare say! 🙂 Loads of people still haven’t heard of The Hidden Orchard, so if you know people who might like to get involved, direct them to our volunteer registration page and we’ll see you soon under a shady fruit-laden tree!
This is a brilliant idea that I fell across yesterday. It needs to be implemented into lots more communities. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Delia! There are several similar groups around the place but plenty of room for more! Thanks for the encouragement, we appreciate it! 🙂
