Analyzing a 5 year old apple tree during a pruning workshop at Slocan Park. Apple and pear trees are hardy enough to prune in late winter, while stone fruit trees (peaches, cherries, plums) are better pruned in warmer weather.
March is here and with it come seed swaps, orchard planning, community garden start-ups, early planting, and restoration planning for the Native Berry Trail, along with the usual community kitchens and delicious community lunches.
Below you'll find a schedule of March events and information on planting and seasonal food availability. Not all activities take place at Collingwood Neighbourhood House. Detailed information is provided below the calendar.
