BearCare at the Homestead Orchard! 🍎🎃
We had a wonderful time learning all about pumpkins and apples! Did you know pumpkin vines can grow really long, and their leaves help guide raindrops down to the roots? We also got to pick apples right from the trees and learn about the hard work that goes into caring for an orchard — like pruning. A big thank-you to Edwin Smith for the fun and educational tour!
