Plant Fruit Trees with Bread for the City


A newly planted plum tree

If you caught our Tree Talk Thursday last week, you were treated to an engaging discussion on planting fruit trees in the DMV. Joining us for the conversation was Jeff Wankel, Garden Coordinator for Bread for the City, who told us all about the nonprofit and the fruit tree planting workshop they will be holding March 25.

Volunteers will spend the morning learning the fundamental skills that lead to a fruitful orchard and putting those skills to use planting fruit trees in Bread for the City’s orchard. The fruit that is grown will go to the organization’s food pantry, which provides healthy food to D.C.’s most underserved residents.

The workshop is happening in Beltsville, MD, but there’s still some room in the carpool! To make sure you get your spot, RSVP today.
