The Orchard Changes across the season can be experienced with all the senses at the Orchard. From pruning to harvest, the care of the orchard materializes with inviting meals at the Farm to Fork Restaurant. Fruit trees ring the hill of the orchard with curvilinear rows. At the base of the hill, a mini vineyard transitions to apple trees and meets the cherries near the irrigation channel. As visitors walk up the winding path, benches forged with tools are available to deepen the journey towards the restaurant. The arrangement of, apricot, plum, and mulberry and additional fruit trees show a wide range of colors and fruit across the year. Along the top of the parking lot wall, Hat Trick Apple trees grown in espalier form a natural fence. Each tree is strategically planted with a topographical microcatchment inspired by traditional dry orchards to to reduce irrigation. At the base of the orchard near the stormwater channel and near the restaurant, berry bushes such as raspberries and gooseberrys allow for views into the orchard and across the park.
