“THE ORCHARD AS LANDSCAPE” will be the topic of my first two apple lectures this fall, both in Easthampton, Massachusetts.

In “The Orchard As Landscape,” I will look at the contemporary apple orchard from aesthetic, cultural, historical, and horticultural perspectives. I will discuss how the orchard is changing and the way it impacts us beyond providing beautiful fruit.
