not far from the tree

Not Far From The Tree’s inaugural Spring Blossom Fest will be happening this Sunday afternoon at the Spadina Museum orchard!

Spadina’s 50+ fruit trees are ready to perform for you. Most of them are heritage apple varieties, and should be in full blossom this Sunday, May 10th. We’ve orchestrated an afternoon of lazy fun for you to enjoy. While the museum hosts its Mother’s Day Cream Tea inside, we’re throwing a hip counterpart outside.

The attractions include:

• lots of blossoms!
• DJ Quim spinning relaxed tunes in the orchard
• blossom portrait booth (get your photo taken on your own, with friends, or with your mom!) by the famous www.rannieturingan.com
• a tour of the orchard with heritage horticulturalist Wendy Woodword (at 2pm)
• the buzz on bees with Fran Freeman of the Toronto Beekeepers’ Coop (at 3pm)
• picnic blankets will be strewn between the blossoming trees (you’re invited to bring your own as well)
• apples will be offered for everybody (you’re welcome to bring a snack or picnic on top of the apples)
• blossom-less trees will be adorned with playful artistic installations for this special occasion
