The Chairy Orchard

The Chairy Orchard The Chairy Orchard is permanently closed. Thank you to all that supported us for so many years. The CO encourages photo shoots, picnics, pets, other functions.

Judy Smith and her neighbor, Anne Pearson, have jointly owned this open lot in between their two houses for over 30 years! Several years ago, Judy and Anne decided to create a “Chairy Tree” on this lot by having a few chairs nailed up into one of the large trees. The two thought it would be fun to expand on this idea and create a “Chairy Orchard,” to liven up an otherwise useless lot (due to it be

ing in the flood way). These two friends plan to plant oats and possibly wild flowers as the orchard grows. The chairs were all found from garage sales, flea markets, dumpsters, or even on the curb. The goal was to collect 100 chairs to complete the “Chairy Orchard” - but they have surpassed that goal two or three fold with no intentions of stopping. Feel free to visit this eclectic area and bring your friends to enjoy the outdoors anytime of year. Just know that we do not close the orchard for any events- so there may be other park visitors present for your events. Open sun up to sun down everyday. Free admission usually, except for special events- contact the Chairy Orchard for information about a charitable contribution for special events.

If y’all are missing the fun and whimsy of the Chairy Fairies, Judy has made some cute Barbie pink items for her booth, #4444 The Crow’s Nest, at the Antique Gallery in Denton. Come get yourself a fun outfit for the premiere of the movie this weekend! Also, booth #157, Remy Loves Rose, has pink items too! Support local business:)

We’ll folks, the response was overwhelming, and all the chairs have left the orchard. You’re welcome to come visit for a few days, but there are no chairs left to claim. We’ve been getting tons of messages asking if there is anything left, and all chairs have been spoken for. Thanks!

Message from Judy and Anne, the Chairy Fairies:

“We are so overwhelmed with the outpouring of love we have received these last few days. We are truly humbled.
The fact that our treasures from the Chairy Orchard are going to good homes pleases us so much.”

Update: It looks like Denton Parks and Recreation is interested in taking some big items from the Chairy Orchard and placing them in other Denton parks.
Details haven’t been finalized, but it is likely some chairs, the big Papa Bear chair, the Locks of Love Chairish Wall, the picture frame and the big metal arch will all be loved, climbed on and photographed again not too far from their original home.
We’ll update here when we know more info!

CHAIRY ORCHARD CLOSING:
Well folks, all good things must come to an end, and we are sad to announce that we will be closing the Chairy Orchard on Sunday, June 18th.
Our instances of vandalism have continued to increase with stolen items, smashed chairs and broken windows in our free libraries, probably caused by late-night visitors after the park is closed.
The Chairy Orchard was started by two neighbors who are now in their 80s, and they always said they would close it when it was no longer fun to maintain.
Beginning now, please come get a favorite chair to remember your special times at this place.
Please only take a chair and not any other exhibits- we are looking for unique places around Denton for some of our more iconic pieces.
We’ll keep the Chairy Orchard page active for the time being for people to post photos and memories of their time at the CO. Also, we do have our Venmo account open if you choose to donate. We will need to pay a service for debris removal after the 18th.
Thanks for your support for the last 8 years. We’ve loved sharing this special place with people from all over the world.
