Orchard learning garden is dedicated to Dr Viktor Derganc, a well-known doctor from Semič, who in 1983 donated his homestead to the Association of Paraplegics of Slovenia. The main part of the learning garden is an orchard with various fruit trees, resembling the orchards that used to surround every homestead in Bela krajina. Not only apple trees are planted in the learning garden, but also pear, plum and walnut trees, raspberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant bushes…ecological vineyard and herb garden.
