We’re turning 5!

Jun 26th, 2012 by Not Far From The Tree

Can you believe it? Not Far From The Tree is five years old!

To celebrate, we’re throwing a birthday party on the rooftop of our new office at 401 Richmond. It will be a lovely evening to celebrate all that this little project has accomplished since it emerged just five years ago.

We sent out the initial invitation to our newsletter so that friends, volunteers, and fruit tree owners would be the first to hear. Much to our surprise, the event was at capacity with weeks to go! (Ahem, are you not on the newsletter?)

Now that we’re closer to the date, some folks have had to cancel so a few tickets remain. We’d love for you to join us on this beautiful rooftop at dusk. Reserve your spot here.
