A Trip to the Community Garden at Orchard Hill

With: Ann Acheson

Trip Fee: by donation

Trip Size: 10 / all ages

Don your gardening gear! For this field trip we will be visiting the community garden at Orchard Hill. This garden is tended by 15+ local families who come together once a week to grow fall storage crops.

We will be in the garden from 10 to noon getting our hands in the soil, learning about cover crops, and having any questions answered that might arise. At noon we will stop and have lunch together, at which time we will hear the origin story and intentions of fostering a community of wellness through this garden expression.

We will meet at the Center at Orchard Hill, 114 Old Settlers Rd, Alstead. Lunch is provided.

Ann Acheson not only fosters community at Chase's Mill as a MHHA board steward, she also participates in tending the community garden at Orchard Hill.
