Community Orchard Tour & Open House

Guided tours will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27 until 7:00 p.m.. Participants will learn about the various species of fruit trees planted in the orchard, and staff from Rawlins Library will be on hand to provide story time to kids.

The Pierre Community Orchard Project was established this spring by a partnership between Girls Scout Troop #40080 and the City of Pierre. The Orchard is situated on 6,400 square feet of city-owned land and features 22 fruit trees including pear, peach, plum, apple and cherry. Once the Orchard is fruitful, community members will be invited to harvest the fruit for the local food pantry, community meals, and personal use.

This event is sponsored by the City of Pierre Arbor Board, Rawlins Municipal Library and the Pierre Community Orchard Project.
