View Comments Having grown up in an agricultural community, Jessica Younger Dickens knew the importance of providing food for families. So, when she was diagnosed in 2017 with brain cancer, her wishes were simple – find somewhere on the University of Nevada, Reno campus where food could be grown to feed others. A new memorial apple orchard and separate pollinator garden on campus will do just that. Younger Dickens died in March 2020 at age 39. More than 120 semi-dwarf cider and table apple trees were planted in her honor at the new Jessica Younger Dickens Memorial Orchard at UNR’s Valley Road Experiment Station. And a pollinator garden is planned for outside her office at UNR’s medical school, where Younger Dickens worked.
