The City of Roseville is looking for a few volunteers to help harvest apples at the community orchard on Saturday, August 29 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. We expect having at least one tree ready for harvesting.
This year’s apple crop will be donated to The Sheridan Story for distribution through the Grow and Give program. A second harvest date is scheduled for September 23.
The orchard is located at the Muriel Sahlin Arboretum, 2525 Dale St. North. The orchard includes more than 100 fruit-bearing trees, shrubs, vegetables and pollinator friendly plants. It provides an opportunity for community members to learn how to grow, harvest and preserve fresh produce.
Please contact Volunteer Coordinator Rachel Boggs at 651-792-7028 or rachel.boggs@cityofroseville.com to volunteer for this event so we can safely plan for social distancing.
