Werribee Park Heritage Orchard is bearing fruit – in the form of its annual summer grafting and tree sales day.

Grafting and budding demonstrations will be held throughout the event and attendees will have opportunities to have new trees grafted or budded, including apple, peach, pear and plum trees.

One-year old grafted heritage fruit trees will be available for purchase and experts will help guests with all their gardening and fruit tree queries.

The event will also include fruit tastings, pruning demonstrations, orchard tours and edible weed walks, while rare and unusual edible plants will be on sale.

The event will be held at Werribee Park Heritage Orchard on Sunday, February 10, from 10am-3pm.
