Long-term Goals
Restore the orchard to a productive state
The schools orchard is across the street from main campus. It has not been tended to for years and so is no longer productive. Our goal will be to tend to these trees to restore the orchards productivity for some tasty homegrown apples
Short term Tasks to Work Towards this Goal
​
Pruning - We will study when and how to prune fruit trees and how it can focus the energy of the tree into a few larger branches rather than many smaller ones resulting in greater production and a healthier over all tree.
​
Organic Pest Control - We will study types of pest control and determine what options best suit our situation
​
Fruit Culling - We will study how removing some fruit from a plant will result in better quality fruit and a healthier plant.
​
Ongoing - It will take years before the orchard will be established as productive and these steps will need to be repeated.
​
​
Erect the hoop-house
There is the frame for a hoop-house on campus though it is not currently set up. Our goal will be to make it functional inorder to extend the season of our garden crops.
Short term Tasks to Work Towards this Goal
​
Determine what needs Repaired or Replaced - The hoop-house has not been set up for a while and it is likely some of it's parts are in disrepair.
​
Restoration - Repair what needs repaired and acquire necessary replacement parts
​
Construction - build it.
​
Planting - Plant inside where the crops will be protected from the first few frosts.
