Do love fresh picked fruit? How about getting to pick some for yourself -- for free -- and donate the rest so that other Ottawa families can share in the wealth? Well have I got a deal for you. If you're willing to do a little gardening and picking in exchange, you can sample all the luscious fruit and nuts that are available on tree growing around Ottawa, trees that aren't spoken for! The group is called Ottawa Hidden Harvest and it is dedicated to renewing the environment and making sure that precious fruit and nuts don't go to waste. What's more, you'll learn all kinds of cool stuff about tree planting. I'll let them speak for themselves. You have to sign up so hurry! More than 70 trees and shrubs of 30 different species were planted two years ago in a permaculture yard near Pleasant Park and Alta Vista to contribute to the landscape through edible crops, shade, and nutrients. Join us as we talk with Sean Butler, yard designer, for a discussion...
More than a million served!
