Sorry, but that looks more like a flower garden than delicious food. Raw rosemary and edible flowers are not delicious.

I’m sorry but no. This is a fruit salad dropped on a cake. Never garnish with anything that isn’t edible–nobody is eating whole rosemary stems.
Also think about how the dish is eaten. Usually with a fork. How would one eat the strawberries and the orange? It’s not common to combine cutlery-food and hand-food on the same plate.

Not sure why everyone’s hating on it, I think its gorgeous. Not all garnishes are meant to be eaten. I do a lot of grazing tables and herbs like rosemary and sage are some of my favorite accents, sometimes you just need some green in there. Love edible flowers as well- pansies are my #1 since you can get a lot of color variation in a single pack. Nasturtium is a close second (the leaves are edible too).
If it were me, and I had time, I might flavor the cheese with herbs/garlic, a sweeter brown sugar/ spices, or fruit reduction/powder of some kind. Goat cheese takes well to being reshaped and you could mold it back into a puck and let it set back up in the fridge. Goes over well at parties.
