With such a wide variety of landscaping tools, New Horizons has the potential for the greatest orchards in the series. No longer are players limited to lining their trees with flowers and patterns. This is a list of ten creative orchard layouts created by players.

This and the previous are similar in quality. Charlotte, the user’s name, made a basic orchard but used a cobblestone floor pattern in place of a solid brown color. There aren’t any fences surrounding the exterior of the orchard.

No fences.

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:

Fruit barrels.
Stone pavement.
Realistic.

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.
