Are you thinking about planting fruit trees in your backyard or community garden? Wondering about the best ways to grow healthy trees and juicy fruits? Wonder no more and head out to Millbrook on Friday February 1st, 2013. The Live Healthy, Live Well Project has invited Michael Phillips, a community orchardist from New Hampshire, to come and talk about Home Orchard Basics.
