The Endless Orchard
The ENDLESS ORCHARD by Fallen Fruit is a way that anyone anywhere can PLANT, MAP, AND SHARE FRUIT!
The Endless Orchard is a real living fruit orchard planted by the public, for the public – a movement of citizens transforming their own neighborhoods. Fruit is a transcultural symbol of sharing and The Endless Orchard is a living public artwork that anyone can eat from! Citizens plant fruit trees in front of their homes and businesses, on the margins of public and private space and interstitial municipal spaces like parkways , bike paths and alleys. Signs placed at each tree identify it as part of a network of sharing. Anyone can plant, map, share, and navigate the fruit trees via our free online portal, EndlessOrchard.com Share your backyard fruit, map existing fruit trees in public spaces or plant new trees and ad them to Endlessorchard.com.
The Endless Orchard will be a collaboration with anyone who wants to join us! – a movement of citizens transforming their own neighborhoods.
The project relies on those who know a city best – the people who live there – to envision what their own neighborhood would be like with the addition of trees bearing fruit, knitted together with other neighborhoods by pathways of apples, peaches, apricots and pears.
Fruit trees planted to grow in front of houses, along sidewalks and overlooked urban spaces become an invitation for the public to explore and enjoy cities in a new way.
Signage placed at each fruit tree explains that this is part of a network of sharing.
