Friendsgiving
In 2025, we celebrated the start of the fall season with our very first Friendsgiving event – an intimate gathering designed to bring people together through creativity, community, and connection.
We gathered to decorate pumpkins with beautiful pressed flowers, then learned how to make flower arrangements with our florist, Robin. Throughout the event, we enjoyed a variety of apples, provided by Dixie Orchards, and a few flavours of sparkling apple ciders, provided by Spirit Tree Cidery.

After the DIY activities, we toured the greenhouse with Suzanne, who taught us some interesting facts about tropical plants. And to end the day, we enjoyed some delicious apple pie (courtesy of Dixie Orchards).
A special thank you goes out to Spirit Tree Cidery, for providing a variety of their sparkling apple ciders, and Dixie Orchards, for providing a selection of Empire, Honey Crisp, and Gala apples and apple pies for our guests to enjoy throughout the afternoon.
