ENDLESS ORCHARD by FALLEN FRUIT – Launch Celebration and a Public Call to Action
YES! SI! OUI! JA! RIGHTON!! What if you could walk down the street and pick an apple or an orange? Can public and private fruit trees offer more than just decor to our neighborhoods? What if they were a public service to the community? It’s all possible with the Endless Orchard, the world’s largest collaborative public artwork –a non-contiguous global fruit orchard planted, mapped, shared, and cared for by everyone who participates.

SHARE YOUR FRUIT!
To apply for the fruit tree adoption, send an email to info@fallenfruit.org, with ‘Fruit Tree Adoption’ in the subject line and include the property address and the location of the planting area and/or photograph. The event and adoption are free to participate.
THE ENDLESS ORCHARD FRUIT TREE ADOPTION EVENT:
1. You have space along a sidewalk or fence of a home, local business, apartment building, school, or community center. You must plant in private space or obtain a permit to plant the fruit tree in public space
2. The selected location is sunny and is being watered or can be watered regularly.
3. You agree to share the fruit tree with neighbors and passersby and map it on the Endless Orchard website.
4. Apply at info@fallenfruit.org to participate.
A PUBLIC CALL TO ACTION: JOIN US! PLANT A FRUIT TREE TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE. Let’s make an Endless Orchard. Plant a fruit tree next to the sidewalk, or along a fence near your home, school, community center, or business. On or next to public space. Water and care for your tree and map it on EndlessOrchard.com to share with others. Encourage local governments and elected leadership to take action and plant fruit trees in parks, public-rights-of-way, and along sidewalks. Dig up cement and make our cities like communal gardens where fruit can be harvested by everyone. Identify pre-existing fruit trees in neighborhoods and map them.
Fallen Fruit aims to position this project globally and engage communities around the world with the idea that generosity begets generosity. “Sharing is the definition of culture. Time, ritual, common interests, a meal, geography. It’s all about sharing.” -Fallen Fruit
During the pandemic, our collective experiences of everyday life have become more meaningful. Our need to be social and go outside became essential. As food shortages erupted due to quarantine related closures and global supply chains were interrupted, the drive to eat hyperlocale and grow edible gardens exploded.
We have already established public fruit parks in 19 different cities across the United States. Fruit tree plantings have been initiated across Southern California including Culver City, San Diego, Torrance, Riverside, San Bernardino, Downtown Los Angeles, Westlake, and across the United States in Buffalo, Columbus, New Orleans, Omaha, San Diego, Philadelphia, New York City, and more. What we’re excited about is that these fruit trees will be here for generations. In many cases, the project sites have been declared as works of art, so that those spaces must persist in the public realm as a place for sharing. The fruit trees would be replaced if necessary.
A forthcoming downloadable PDF will include all of our instructions on planting trees and sharing with the Endless Orchard.
