However, due to a lack of volunteer docents, it's only open on weekends.
Aiyer, who leads the Rotary Club of Cupertino's fruit harvesting pilot program in collaboration with hunger and homelessness nonprofit West Valley Community Services, has harvested more than 850 pounds of fresh fruit since the idea came to life last spring. Her team of roughly 10 volunteers has picked fruit three times from residents who offer their trees to the program, including lemons, oranges and plums.
