A preserving workshop hosted by not far from the tree volunteers!
A team of above-and-beyond volunteers have organized a preserving workshop for fellow volunteers. The workshop is full to capacity and there is a substantial waiting list. We will be working in a commercial kitchen, led by a volunteer with food handling safety training, so we can donate a portion of the preserves to our partner agencies. Volunteer participants will also get to take home some of the fruits of their labour.

We’ll explore the heritage orchards on-site and even get to taste some of the seasonal apple varieties plucked straight from the tree (a “walk ‘n eat,” if you will). After a brief tour through the neighbourhood (past the stables-turned-greenhouse), we will finish the tour with a spectacular view of the plains of Toronto from the steps of Casa Loma. If interested, please RSVP here. You can find the event on Facebook, too.
