Food brings people together. Without food, there is no conversation. When you share food, people start to talk.

Picking fruit is a great way to spend time outside in green space, meet new people, and gain access to fresh, locally grown fruit in your own neighbourhood!

Thinking about adding a new fruit tree to your gar

Thinking about adding a new fruit tree to your garden? Most gardeners know about the more common fruits like apricots, plums, and cherries. But there is a lesser-known, native fruit tree that you can add to your garden (bonus: the leaves have compounds that deter squirrels!).

Frida, a member of our Fruit Research Team, has written an exciting blogpost about pawpaws, where she talks about the history of pawpaws, how to grow it, where to buy it, and more! Be sure to check it out

Happy national tree day!🌳 We’re thrilled to

Happy national tree day!🌳

We’re thrilled to see the boom in urban gardening, and will to continue to advocate for accessible fruit trees to help communities establish their resilient food systems. A well cared for fruit tree can be an amazing asset to the community, feeding multiple families for many years to come.

As a project committed to sustaining the urban orchard, we need to continue planting fruit trees and edible shrubs for future generations. Communities should be able to grow, access and afford healthy food in their communities.

Your support ensures NFFTT can offer diverse programming, fruit trees to plant, and build community all year round.
