        This November, using some funding from the Ritual Arts Collective grant and school budgets, we were able to plant 18 fruit trees at and around public schools in the valley! We'll be continuing to plant at these schools in the spring.


With the kids' help, we planted...

  • 2 Kousa dogwoods, 2 Plums (Green Gage, Big Blue), and 2 Apple (Grime's Golden, Gala) trees at the Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion Charter School in Hadley, where this spring we hope to put in a medicinal herb garden and more fruit trees!
  • 3 Kousa dogwood trees at the Green River Conservation & Rec. Area in Greenfield (pending talks with the Parks & Rec committe might allow many more plantings here - imagine flood-resistant pawpaw groves!)
  • 3 Kousa dogwood trees at UMass Amherst.
  • 2 pears (Seckle and Bartlett) and 4 apple (Grime's golden, Arkblack, Gala & McIntosh) trees at the Four Rivers Charter School in Greenfield, bringing the fruit tree tally at the campus to over 20!
