A picnic under an apple tree at Howell Territorial Park.
Join Metro to work together to make a small batch of fruit jam or (non-alcoholic) cider to take home. You will learn about the orchard while listening to live music on the historic steps of the Howell House. Children welcome with adult supervision – participants will be working with sharp tools and boiling water.

Pet policy: To protect plants, wildlife and people, Metro does not allow pets at most regional parks and natural areas. Pets can damage sensitive habitat and threaten wildlife the region has worked to protect. In natural areas where dogs are not allowed, people see more wildlife and get closer to it. Seeing-eye dogs or other service animals are allowed. Please bring cleanup materials.
