Another fun thing to do is grow dwarf fruit trees. Most can be grown in BIG containers. The secret is to prune and repot every two years. Be sure to buy only top brand potting soils:

Apples are "orthodox" seeds, meaning they’ll stand at least a year of storage at 50oF, 50% relative humidity.

Are you intending folks to plant these? While it’s fun to grow apples from seeds, the fruits will not be like the parent fruits, and the trees will be much taller than "usual", unless the seedlings are then grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock.
