Design brief.
Our client plans to build and live on his land permanently. The orchard site was chosen pretty quickly due to the exposure of the rest of the land. It has a beautiful ampitheatre feel when you first arrive. The plan was to build a pond in the middle for water and plant fruit trees and as many as possible. We were to provide fruit trees that were of different varieties that produced at different times throughout the year and somewhere he could bring the children to forage and picnic under the fruit trees.
“The orchard is now 1 year old and it looks great. The trees are thriving and Benji thinks we will have fruit this summer. We don’t use any pesticide or insecticide treatments (in fact we have not had to spray them at all).”
