The orchard is shown, dying and falling apart. Jeannie Gillett is at a grave, placing flowers on the headstone. Now in her home, she introduces herself as the president of the Old Orchard Conservancy, which is fighting to preserve a historical orchard in Orange County. She describes the history of the orchard. It was built over a hundred years ago by the Sexlinger Family. The two daughters remained on the property for the remainder of their lives, caring for the orchard. The youngest, Martha, recently passed away in 2006. The schools that now own the orchard have been planning on tearing it down and replace it with a housing development. However, the Old Orchard Conservancy was formed three years ago and stepped in to fight the schools. The conservancy proposed a project that would help revive the orchard. It would be transformed into a thriving and working orchard where schools could send students to learn about various subjects. Jeannie wanders through various orange orchards. She passes by a ‘No Trespassing’ sign. The conservancy board members meet one last time before the city council meeting in which the decision will be made if the orchard is to be torn down or not. Jeannie and several other board members speak as do representatives of the schools. However, the mayor and city council vote against the orchard and decide that it is best for it to be demolished as there is not enough money to keep it alive and running. Some time has passed after the decision was made. Jeannie puts on her work boots and does some gardening in her backyard. She sits and talks about her disappointment of the decision. Although she wasn’t entirely surprised by it, Jeannie had some hope that the city council would see past the money and see what the conservancy hoped to build for the future with the orchard. She mentions that it ‘could’ve been a landmark decision, as far as I’m concerned’. While shots of the orange orchard are shown, Jeannie talks about a conversation she had with her brother, in which he asks her if she’s going to become a tree-hugger. She laughs as she recalls herself saying ‘Well, if I have to chain myself to a tree, I will’ It is revealed at the close of the documentary, that two months after the decision, the orchard was demolished.
