HFS Grafting Session / Volunteer Workshop

  • Sat, August 16, 2025
  • 12:00 PM - 4:30 PM
  • HFS Heritage Block at Petty's Orchard, 1 Homestead Road, Templestowe

HFS Volunteer Workshop: you're cordially invited to help maintain and develop our heritage orchard and its facilities ... and to enjoy a friendly chat over a cuppa. These workshops are always engaging, educational, productive and fun! We meet at our big white marquee in the HFS Heritage Block - enter through the gate about 50 metres to the left of Petty's Orchard Cafe's door. No prior registration is needed: just front up.


This month's workshop will run concurrently with a tree grafting session. We have many trees to graft up for several purposes: adding new varieties to our collection, and duplicating existing ones. We'll also be grafting up trees to fulfill customer orders. If you're an experienced grafter, please come along and join in - and don't forget to bring your favourite grafting knife! But if you're not, feel free to watch, to ask questions and to learn.


Please note, however, that this is not a formal "learn to graft" session. We have run these throughout August in past years, but unfortunately we're unable to do so this year.
