Werribee Park Heritage Orchard - Sunday Volunteer Sessions

What to expect

Volunteers can experience and develop hands-on skills in grafting, pruning, tree planting, fruit picking and tasting, and nursery and orchard maintenance. Short workshops are regularly held where volunteers have an opportunity to learn about a specific topic and ask questions.
