SUMMARY:Monthly Volunteer Day with Common Orchard Project
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a long-time supporter of the Common Orchard Project or brand new to our work\, this is a great opportunity to connect with others in the community while helping care for and grow one of our shared orchard spaces. \nWe host volunteer days on the third Saturday of each month to support ongoing orchard and site development. Volunteers may help with seasonal tasks such as composting\, planting\, nursery work\, and general site care. No prior experience is needed\, everyone is welcome. \nThis is a hands-on\, community-focused workday where you can learn more about the orchard and how the site is cared for while contributing to the long-term health of the site. \nEvent Details\nLocation: Camp Washington Perennial Farm\nAddress: 3220 Colerain Ave\, Cincinnati\, OH\nDate: Third Saturday of the Month\nTime: 9:00 AM-12:00 PM\nSchedule: Third Saturday of each month\nParking: Use the River City lot\, park nearest to the farm entrance and walk over to the farm \nWhat to Expect:\n– Seasonal orchard and farm tasks (varies by month)\n– A welcoming\, collaborative environment\n– Light snacks and water provided\n– Please wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes suitable for outdoor work\n– The farm is still in development\, so ground conditions may be uneven\n– The nearest public restroom is available at Mom & ’Em Coffee nearby \nPossible Monthly Activities \nTo give an idea of the types of projects volunteers may help with throughout the year\, here is a sample list of seasonal activities. Exact tasks may change depending on site needs\, and we will guide volunteers through whatever work is most relevant for that month. \nFebruary – Compost bagging & winter cleanup\nMarch – Nursery work\, potting herbs & flowers\nApril – Berry planting\nMay – Final nursery potting & site prep\nJune – Mulching & orchard maintenance\nJuly – Cover crop & flower harvest\nAugust – Summer cleanup\nSeptember – Tree nursery prep for orchard install\nOctober – Chasing chickens & mulching beds\nNovember – Fall cleanup & winter prep\nDecember – NO VOLUNTEER DAY (Christmas break) \nWe really hope to see you there! The farm has grown so much over the years thanks to volunteers like you. We are so excited to see this next phase of growth with added berries\, flowers\, the orchard coming into maturity\, and the expansion of the compost program. \nSee you there!

Come learn how to plant trees\, fruit tree care\, and meet neighbors who care as much as you do. \nWe will be planting fruit trees and laying down black plastic to remove the grass. All tools and gloves provided\, just bring a water bottle and wear appropriate outdoor clothing to dig holes and plant trees. We will have locally grown fruit and other snacks. \nAdditional Information: If you are able to join and sign up\, please do follow through! It changes our plans and makes these days difficult if people change their minds at the last minute. We will give a reminder and notice of any extreme weather related changes of plans 2 days before the event.
