Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- Most cities have solved this simply by publicising the harvest dates in advance, turning what could be a nuisance into a small annual festival of free, locally grown fruit.
- The main challenge such orchards face is not growing the fruit but timing its collection, since unpicked apples left to rot on the pavement quickly draw complaints about mess and wasps.
- Once planted, the trees are typically maintained by a mix of council staff and volunteer gardening groups, who prune the branches each winter and share the harvest schedule with the neighbourhood.
- The idea originated in towns looking for a productive use for small, awkward plots of public land that were too narrow to build on but too visible to leave as rough grass.
- A municipal orchard is a stretch of city-owned land planted with fruit trees, usually apple, pear, or plum, that any resident is free to pick from once the fruit ripens.
