New Moon Update from Help Yourself
     The season of gratitude is upon us! We, corporeal beings all, owe the existance of our earthly bodies to those other beings we eat. If you've enjoyed the blessing of eating food once or more in your life, consider paying it forward by planting a public fruit tree, here on Earth!
      Meanwhile, the winter solstice is fast approaching, and gentle fall rains offer relief to the dry ground, it's a nice time to reflect back on a busy - and parched - growing season. Do you live and eat in the Pioneer Valley? This #GivingTuesday "plant your money where your mouth" is  (locally), and invest in our shared future! Plant a public fruit tree today!   
Sponsor a public fruit tree!
YES! You can!
It’s been a busy one, full of apples, pears, chestnuts, berries and veggies! We started a handful of new gardens, such as
  • Hunger Relief Garden,  (fruit trees and bushes & raised beds) with the Open Pantry organization in Springfield
  • An orchard of apples and beach plums at the Paulo Friere Social Justice Charter School in Holyoke
  • A small Community Orchard at Appleton & Oak St, Holyoke
  • An apple and plum orchard at the Gill Elem. School, in Gill

"The best time to plant a fruit tree was 20 years ago... the second best time is now!" - Proverb

Give the gift of a public fruit tree to a local community with the link below. Each 25$ directly plants a fruit tree in public location in Western Mass, free for all to harvest from. We all love to save our dollars, but remember, trees live longer than we do, feeding and blessing those we leave behind. Why wait to plant a better future?

And we expanded plantings at many other sites, like
  • Community orchard at the Parish of the Holy Name Church, South Deerfield.
  • Turner's Falls Elem. School
  • United Arc! in Turners Falls
  • Frogtown, Northampton
  • Gardening the Community, Lebanon St., Springfield
