Growing fruit trees allows you to harvest your own delicious fruit with zero food miles for many years. In this indoor presentation, learn how to grow fruit trees in your own backyard or terrace, including in pots. Expert gardener Scott Hitchins from Werribee Park Heritage Orchard will demonstrate how to prune, shape and plant a young fruit tree, as well as how to sustainably care for your fruit trees throughout the year.

Please feel free to bring any surplus produce, seeds, cuttings, plants, gardening magazines etc. to swap and share!

Please note that this is an event for Naarm/Melbourne gardeners only. If you live outside this area, please contact your council to find out what free sustainable gardening events are available locally.
