FERGUS – Franklin Jull from Fergus helped sort out the apples to be pressed – and maybe took a bite – at an open house event at the Centre Wellington Food Forest on Sept. 28. Organizers opened the gardens to the public for Culture Days and harvest days. The food forest is located behind the tennis courts at the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex.

Pressing matters – Culture Days and harvest days were good reasons for organizers of Food Forest Centre Wellington to open it up to the public and there was a good turnout on Sept. 28. The food forest is located behind the tennis courts at the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex. On this day they were making apple and pear cider. Here Jennifer Terris and Rene Marentet put ground-up fruit into the press. Photo by Bill Longshaw
