SUMMARY:Natural Dyeing in the Orchard

This workshop will walk you through all the steps of how to use locally grown flowers and natural dyeing to create beautiful patterns on fabric. Using the technique of flower pounding\, all participants will get to create their own beautiful naturally dyed tote bag to take home.

All supplies are included in this workshop\, however our number of hammers available may be limited. Please bring your own if possible to help the workshop run smoothly! \nBe sure to come dressed for the elements as this workshop will be held outdoors. \nAs there is limited parking available at the orchard\, please bike\, walk\, bus or carpool if possible. We are located right on the galloping goose\, and you are welcome to bring bikes into the orchard to lock them up safely. \nIf you are driving\, there are 8 parking spots located at the end of stancil lane\, 2 of which will be reserved as accessible spots for the duration of the workshop. Please be mindful of our neighbours and do not park in the large driveway on the south side of the street. Additional parking can be found along the street on High St and Eaton Ave. \nAbout the Instructor \nRiver (they/them) works for Lifecycles Project as the Welland Orchard Coordinator\, as well as running their own landscaping business\, Nightingale Gardens. They are passionate about increasing the resilience of urban and suburban landscapes through utilising plants native to these territories\, increasing food security through integrating edible perennials and fruit trees into the landscape\, and helping to increase connections to land through making gardening more possible and accessible. \nTheir background is in agriculture\, with five seasons spent working on small-scale organic farms\, as well as a Landscape Horticulture Certificate (Red Seal levels 1 and 2) from the Pacific Horticulture College. They have also spent several years facilitating group learning and activities\, for both kids and adults\, in a variety of environments. \nTheir family is primarily from Ireland\, Poland\, Belarus\, Ukraine and England. They were raised on kʷikʷəƛ̓əm territories (Coquitlam BC) and have been living on W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən territories for the past 10 years. Their work is grounded in intersectional queer feminism\, disability justice\, and decolonization. They are queer\, trans\, and neurodivergent and have a lifelong love of fruit trees. \n \nHow to Register for this Event\nThis workshop is in person only.

There are also free tickets available for seniors\, thanks to funding from The New Horizons for Seniors Program. \nLifeCycles Project Society is always working to learn more about\, and breakdown\, barriers that may exist in accessing our programming. We understand that these tickets are by no means an exhaustive look at systems of oppression that exist for people. We welcome your ideas and feedback as we work to continue learning. \nPlease contact us if you are no longer able to attend but hold a ticket so we can make your space available to someone else and work to process your refund. \nYou can also register for the event by calling our office at 250 383-5800 or via email by contacting welland@lifecyclesproject.ca \n \nAccessibility\nAccess from the parking area off Stancil Lane is through a latching unlocked gate. There is a gravel/dirt path sloping downward from the gate that leads to a wide flat grassy area with picnic table seating. If you are coming from the Galloping Goose entrance\, which also has a latching unlocked gate\, you will find a gravel/dirt path that slopes upward to the wide flat seating area. This section of path has one small area with uneven exposed bedrock. The steepness of the path varies throughout the Orchard and is steepest at the top of the Orchard closer to the Stancil Lane entrance\, and at the bottom between the Galloping Goose trail and the Orchard entrance. The pathway from the Galloping Goose to the entrance to the Orchard has several sharp turns. \nThe Orchard has a single-stall gender-neutral composting toilet facility on site with ramp access (and currently without transfer bars). The composting toilet is located below the flat area and toward the Galloping Goose entrance. There is a hand-washing station on site (without soap) but the water is not potable. Hand sanitizer is available inside the toilet. \nThe workshop will be held outside rain or shine\, please dress appropriately for the weather. The seating provided is picnic benches. Please feel free to bring a cushion or your own folding chair\, a limited number of cushions are available at the orchard. The workshop area is in dappled shade\, depending on the time of the day. \nThere is access to potable water on site. Please bring your own water bottle.

SUMMARY:Pie Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make an apple pie in this 2 hour workshop. Each person will get a pie to take home and enjoy!\n\n\nTaking advantage of prime transparent apple season\, this workshop will be focused on making a luscious pie made from fruit rescued through our Fruit Tree Project. This may also include plums\, cherries and apples. Many of our local heritage apples are “cooking apples” that\, while not as tasty eaten fresh as others\, lend themselves beautifully to being baked into a pie. In this workshop you will learn pastry making\, how to weave a lattice top and how to spice and sweeten each variety of fruit. Each participant will be able to take home a pie to enjoy\, as well as a copy of the recipe used. \nProceeds of these workshops enable us to offer more opportunities to connect people and local food systems! We offer these workshops on a sliding scale\, and encourage you to refer to this guide if you are uncertain what to pay: Sliding Scale Guide. \nIf you have any questions or accessibility requests\, please email fruittree@lifecyclesproject.ca and we will respond as quickly as possible.

They were raised on kʷikʷəƛ̓əm territories (Coquitlam BC) and have been living on W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən territories for the past 10 years. Their work is grounded in intersectional queer feminism\, disability justice\, and decolonization. They are queer\, trans\, and neurodivergent and have a lifelong love of fruit trees. \n \nHow to Register for this Event\nThis workshop is in person only. Please dress appropriately for all types of weather\, as the workshop will be hosted outside in the orchard. \nTickets are available by a suggested donation of $10/person. \nPlease contact us if you are no longer able to attend but hold a ticket so we can make your space available to someone else and work to process your refund. \nYou can also register for the event by calling our office at 250 383-5800 or via email by contacting welland@lifecyclesproject.ca \n \nAccessibility\nAccess from the parking area off Stancil Lane is through a latching unlocked gate. There is a gravel/dirt path sloping downward from the gate that leads to a wide flat grassy area with picnic table seating. If you are coming from the Galloping Goose entrance\, which also has a latching unlocked gate\, you will find a gravel/dirt path that slopes upward to the wide flat seating area. This section of path has one small area with uneven exposed bedrock. The steepness of the path varies throughout the Orchard and is steepest at the top of the Orchard closer to the Stancil Lane entrance\, and at the bottom between the Galloping Goose trail and the Orchard entrance. The pathway from the Galloping Goose to the entrance to the Orchard has several sharp turns. \nThe Orchard has a single-stall gender-neutral composting toilet facility on site with ramp access (and currently without transfer bars). The composting toilet is located below the flat area and toward the Galloping Goose entrance. There is a hand-washing station on site (without soap) but the water is not potable. Hand sanitizer is available inside the toilet. \nThe tour will be held outside rain or shine\, please dress appropriately for the weather. The majority of the tour involves standing and walking at a slow pace around the 2/3 of an acre site\, including some sections of uneven ground. \nThere is access to potable water on site. Please bring your own water bottle. \nIf you have any questions of if more details would be helpful please reachout to River at welland@lifecyclesproject.ca
