Wear the Connection

G.O.T. Orchards apparel

Wear our mission: growing connections across generations. Our planned apparel collection celebrates teens of all abilities and vibrant seniors learning from one another, caring for the environment, and building community through shared orchard experiences.

Back designs for a cream T-shirt and forest-green crewneck sweatshirt: vibrant seniors and teens reading together on one side and nurturing an orchard together on the other, under Growing Connections Across Generations.
Our chosen back design brings two parts of our mission together: reading and sharing knowledge, and growing and nurturing one another through orchard experiences. The front stays clean, with the complete circular G.O.T. Orchards logo on the wearer’s left sleeve. Final garments, print placement, and colors will be confirmed before orders open.

Every contribution helps us make room for more participation, more connection, and more practical responses to fruit insecurity.

Fruit Access

Create meaningful ways for seniors to participate, share knowledge, and build relationships.

Accessible Programs

Help reduce barriers so people of varied ages and abilities can take part.

Help Build an Accessible Orchard

Accessibility is part of the foundation.

Fundraising is underway to support the planning and phased development of an accessible urban orchard. Contributions may help support accessible site planning, inclusive routes, raised planting areas, shade and seating, adaptive tools, sensory supports, communication materials, volunteer preparation, and inclusive community programs.

  • Accessible site planning
  • Raised planting options
  • Shade, seating, and rest areas
  • Adaptive and sensory supports
  • Clear communication materials
  • Prepared volunteer support

Why Giving Matters

Fruit insecurity is also a connection challenge.

Teens of all abilities, seniors, and families may live near fruit trees and community resources while still lacking reliable access to fresh fruit. Donations help support the people, tools, outreach, and inclusive programs needed to close that gap.

  • Community planting and care activities
  • Educational and mentorship experiences
  • Volunteer coordination and neighborhood outreach
  • Accessible participation and thoughtful support
