Happy Growing New Leafers!
2023 Food Forest Perennial Fruit Tree and Bush Sale recap
During our 2023 New Leaf Garden Blitz, we sold 300 perennial Nanking Cherry, American Hazelnut, American Plum, Elderberry, Juneberry, Raspberry, Blackberry and Currant trees/bushes.
We met our goal of helping you become a food producer. Our community supports growing locally, building community through cooperation, direct action and sharing the love of delicious, freshly grown food.
As a result of our sale, we are able to donate additional perennials to the food forests at Seymour Park, Chappell Elementary, Aldo Leopold Community School and the Green Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Fellowship!!
We can’t wait to see the growth and the bounty for years to come!!!
New leaf food forest orchard project at Chappell school
The Orchard at Chappell Elementary has been planted!!
The approximate 80 ft. x 100 ft. (8,000 sq. ft.) orchard offers a low-income, diverse population of students at Chappell Elementary, healthy foods while learning how to be more self-sustainable. The school is already composting and has garden boxes that will continue to be used to teach sustainable agriculture.
Funding and hands on help is coming from Leadership Green Bay Cohort Team 5 to improve the quality of life in our community and meet the needs of New Leaf Foods as a nonprofit.
Thank you to:
- Kristen Vincent (City of DePere), Emily Mommaerts (Martin Systems), Renee Main (Green Bay Botanical Garden), John Jackson (Humana), Tom Murphy (Associated Bank), Jordan Ogren (O'Connor Connective), Amanda Desmond (Prevea), Shane Anderson (Law Firm of Conway, Olejniczak & Jerry, S.C.), Colleen Matthews (WPS) and mentor Shannon Geurts (Cellcom).
The orchard includes 6 trees (2 apple, 2 pear, and 2 cherry), mulch for the trees, garden supplies, additional perennial flowers to promote pollinators and a commemorative plaque. If funding allows, a bench for observation will be added in the future.
Thank you to Leadership Green Bay and Cohort Team 5 for empowering Green Bay residents and children to grow food and contribute to a sustainable urban agricultural system.
