A Fruitful Experiment

Made possible thanks to the City of Mitcham’s Public Art Grant, ‘A Fruitful Experiment’ celebrates the Blackwood Experimental Orchard, its pivotal contributions to horticulture in South Australia and the value of the land to the community today. The design highlights a selection of fruit that was grown on the orchard, including cherries, peaches, nectarines, Prince Edward apples and citrus, along with the pine plantation, native plants and the manager’s office that can all be seen at the Blackwood Forest Recreation Park today.
