Chesapeake rooftop orchard provides relief for families in need News 3 and last updated 2021-02-28 18:40:32-05 CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Volunteers are planting the seeds that will bring food to the fingertips of families in need in South Norfolk. Three floors above ground, a rooftop orchard is growing at the ForKids Center for Children and Families. “When you grow a seed and it sprouts and it grows and it flowers, then it produces a berry or something, it’s just fun watching all of that,” explained Senior Horticulture Extension Agent for the City of Chesapeake Mike Andruczyk. ForKids is a nonprofit that temporarily houses children and families experiencing homelessness while helping them gain long-term housing. It partnered with Tymoff + Moss Architects, Hourigan Construction, Healthy Chesapeake, the Virginia Department of Forestry, the Chesapeake Master Gardeners, the Chesapeake Department of Health and the South Norfolk Civic League to create the orchard.
