October at the Orchard 🧡

Join us for one of our most meaningful community gatherings of the year!

Together, we’ll plant orange tulips and crocuses in the Every Child Matters Garden as we remember, honour, and care for the garden and the land.

We’ll also spend some time with the beautiful Nootka rose. Learn how to prune these native roses, discover their fragrant pink flowers and nutrient-rich hips, and explore the important role they play in supporting local ecosystems.

Bring your family, your curiosity, and your garden gloves!
There will be plenty of opportunities to learn, help out, connect, and enjoy time together in the orchard.

This National Tree Day Tree Canada / Arbres Canada join Copley Community Orchard neighbours for a morning of planting, learning, and connecting!

We’re planting chestnuts!

We’ll be planting two grafted chestnut varieties. The ‘Colossal’ and ‘Nevada’ are a great pairing for cross-pollination and a future harvest of delicious nuts.

‘Colossal’ produces large, sweet nuts and benefits from having another chestnut variety nearby for pollination.

‘Nevada’ is an excellent pollinator for ‘Colossal’ while also producing its own quality nuts. Together, these trees can help create a productive chestnut planting for years to come!

Then join us for a tour of the orchard, where we’ll explore the many different trees growing at Copley and learn more about this special community space.

Plant a tree. Meet your neighbours. Grow community.
