Urban orchard in Chicago

From "City in a garden gets an orchard" in the Chicago Sun-Times:

Chicago Park District Supt. Tim Mitchell said it was the "first-ever public fruit tree orchard planted in a large urban setting." The orchard was a donation from Absolut vodka under the direction of the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, a San Diego-based charity that aims to plant 18 billion fruit trees across the world.
