Meeting of the Minds
April 21st at 1:00pm via Zoom
This month’s presentation is “Rediscovered Fruit: Conserving the Islands’ Ancient Food Forests.”  While the booming fruit export industry in the San Juan Islands of a century ago has waned, evidence of it continues to live among us in the unique seedling offspring of those early trees. Please join Meeting of the Minds this month, presented by Kwiáht botanist, Madrona Murphy.  To attend, go to www.orcasseniors.org at just before 1:00pm on April 21, click the Join Here link, and enter the provided passcode. Attendance is free or with a suggested $5 donation.
