An orchard is not a field. Its not a forest or a copse. It couldnt occur naturally; its definitely cultivated. But an orchard doesnt override the natural order: it enhances it  dresses it up.

The vivid brightness of the laden trees  studded with jewels  stirs some deep race memory and makes the heart leap. Here is bounty  and excitement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651790004277,"sku":"ByrdShop_1846148839","price":285.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781846148835.jpg?v=1781840847","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-apple-orchard-the-story-of-our-most-english-fruit-9781846148835","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
