Event description

New to fruit tree growing? Have a tree you're not sure how to get the most from? Orchard full but you'd like to try different varieties? 

In this free talk at the Warrnambool Library, you'll get all the information you need to grow abundance in your backyard. 

Craig will cover soil health for production, tree selection, summer pruning, grafting and more. He will have some time for questions to share his expert advice.

It's also a great opportunity to say hello to the rest of Fruit Rescue crew - feel free to bring along friends but make sure they register so we have enough chairs. 

This event is supported through Warrnambool City Council's Healthy Warrnambool funding.
