EArth Day Celebration at Morris Orchard
Join Michael Judd and our friends at Mobilize Frederick for a free afternoon gathering at Morris Orchard. We'll explore the principles of agroforestry — designing farms and landscapes that work with nature rather than against it —Learn from Michael and watch a live grafting demonstration that will leave you with new eyes for the trees around you.
We'll also make space for a conversation about natural burial: a growing movement that invites us to consider how we return to the earth when our time comes, and what that can mean for the land, for community, and for how we think about death.
Come curious. Come ready to dig in.
