Orchard Maintenance & Mentoring takes place at the Dr. Bob Norton Memorial Orchard and is a community-driven initiative focused on preserving and caring for the orchard while providing a dynamic learning space.
Open to individuals of all skill levels, from novices to experts, the program aims to teach valuable skills in orchard maintenance, sustainable agriculture, and community engagement.
Participants actively partake in hands-on activities integral to orchard upkeep, such as pruning, watering, fertilizing, and pest control.
Under the guidance of experienced fellow club members, participants can learn best practices around orchard health and productivity. This approach fosters a supportive learning environment, allowing individuals to develop practical skills applicable to orchard maintenance.
