Experience the Outdoors!
You'd be surprised how many don't really go outside. We’re not here to reminisce about the past or complain about the present, but it’s true that both kids and adults spend more time indoors these days. Enjoying the outdoors should be an intentional choice, a mindful way to spend time. Slowing down to sit, walk, and immerse yourself in the sounds and scents of a fruit orchard offers a natural calm—all within city limits! Come experience it for yourself; it’s like having your own peaceful retreat right here! And you can use your phone to learn more about everything there!
