This orchard takes the simple designs of the previous orchards and adds realism elements. Puddles lie on the ground as tree sap oozes from the bark. Barrels are empty but serve to contain fallen fruit. The pavement is made of dark, grey stones.

Overall:

  • Puddles of sap.
  • Fruit barrels.
  • Stone pavement.
  • Realistic.

Instead of being a functional orchard, Sarah Elizabeth Haga built a wonderful treehouse using elevated land. She decorated the property with lots of oak furniture. The surrounding fruit trees cannot be accessed by the player without terraforming. 

Overall:

  • Wonderful design.
  • Creative use of terraforming.
  • Not a functional orchard.
  • Oak furniture.

Instead of making a sizable orchard to store lots of fruit trees, this user aimed to make a mini orchard that balances function and design. Brick walls line the entrance as the trees fill the interior. The right edge is covered with a picnic blanket and orchid flowers. From there on, the ocean can be enjoyed by the player while eating fruit.

Overall:

  • Miniature orchard.
  • Brick walls.
  • Picnic area.
  • View of ocean.
