VOLUNTEER ORCHARD PLANTERS NEEDEDFRIDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 3 - 6:30 PM
- Pizza Dinner to Follow -
~ WHAT: Our WRA Garden Committee received a grant from @TreesforLife to plant a native food forest at Halter Park at #OmandsCreek!
We're so excited to begin the planting, & we need YOUR HELP to make this happen!
An arbour company's planting the majority of trees (90 trees & shrubs).
Our grant STILL REQUIRES community engagement from at least 20 Wolseleyite community VOLUNTEERS to plant.
~ HOW: We're planting 15 haskap & 15 saskatoon bushes. We'll mulch, stalk & fence these bushes.
~ WHERE: Halter Park, between Raglan Avenue & Omand's Creek proper -close to the Portage Avenue Mennonite Church, is our orchard site.
~ WHEN: Planting starts Friday, October 3rd, 2025 from 3 PM & ends 6:30 PM, or sooner if completed earlier.
FOOD: Our celebratory pizza dinner arrives during the planting!
~ WHY: This is our community's opportunity to add immense biodiversity to this Wolseley area; increase the health of the riparian zone; add a source of organic food for both animal & human visitors -while overall continuing to add beauty to this often overlooked section of Omand's Creek.
