Historic Orchard Maintenance

Hensley Historic District

Get your hands dirty preserving a piece of Silicon Valley history. This 3.3-acre orchard replanted in 1994 recreates the 1930s fruit-growing heritage of the Santa Clara Valley, and your volunteer work, from pruning to grafting, helps keep heritage varieties thriving. Everything you harvest goes straight to Second Harvest food bank and local shelters, so your morning in the dirt feeds the community.
