During the orange picking season of January to March, the Heritage Park Foundation invites families to come and pick their own oranges every Saturday at Heritage Park.
Under the shelter of the orange trees, time stood still. Children ran and played hide-and-seek with their shadows as the sunlight splashed through the tree tops. Lazy Saturdays picking sweet oranges in the orchard have begun again.
Orange and yellow are scattered everywhere as pumpkins of every size sit on haystacks waiting to be chosen at the Heritage Foundation’s 15th annual pumpkin patch.
Despite its stucco finish and corporate logos, La Verne hasn’t always been a suburban paradise. Before the pavement and smog, row upon row of orange trees called her home; a heritage La Verne holds dear.
