Instructions: Use the reference guide to solve each riddle. When you figure out the answer, look at the orchard map (http://www.bloomingtoncommunityorchard.org/site/about) and find the right tree, bush or item in the orchard to which it refers. Watch out! There is more than on tree labeled #6, for example. You will know that you have found the correct tree when you find the limestone letter puzzle piece underneath it. Once you write down the letter, please place the limestone back exactly where you found it with the letter facing downward. Once you have found all 16 limestone pieces, put the letters together to make a phrase. The phrase will tell you the location of the letterbox.
