Apple Tree Day

Imagine a day dedicated to the unsung hero of the orchard—the apple tree! Apple Tree Day is a time to appreciate the leafy giants responsible for our beloved apples. Whether you're munching on a crisp Granny Smith or sipping on cider, it's all thanks to these sturdy trees. You might not be able to plant one in your living room, but you can definitely learn about different varieties, their history, and maybe even bake an apple pie in their honor. So, give a nod to your local apple tree; without it, where would our pies and bobbing games be?
