Our orchard is not very big. It is just a small place where we have planted very few different fruit trees. But not only fruit trees, there is a portion with flowers, lawn and surrounded by a well.

Inside the portion there are flowers and lawn. It is not easy to plant such trees and flowers. I always water and weed the area concerned. The most important thing is to look for pests that are harmful.

In our orchard there are many fruit trees but they need care from someone who love them. These trees eventually give us fruits which all of us eat. The fruit trees bought by well wishers and give money towards the project so that we can make our own choices about the trees to buy. We have fruit trees like oranges, lemons, mangoes, grapes, avocados and naartjies. We have been given another portion to increase our orchard. The portion needs about 40 trees. I understand the trees to be planted are paw paws, mangoes, apples, peaches, apricots and guavas. We look forward to any form of assistance as the holes have been dug.
