We're bringing Craig Castree to Warrnambool
Continuing its work of reducing food waste and promoting sustainability, Fruit Rescue is launching a summer workshop series featuring Craig Castree.
Craig Castree is an award-winning horticulturist with 45 years of experience in organic food production and edible garden design. He serves as vice president of the Werribee Park Heritage Orchard at Werribee Park Mansion, restoring old fruit varieties for future enjoyment.
The workshop series, supported by funding from Warrnambool City Council, will offer free or low-cost sessions to the community. The timing is aligned with the key harvest period which means participants will get insights they can use immediately.
Topics include:
Growing Great Fruit Trees talk on Saturday, 22 February, 12pm at Warrnambool Library.
Sunday, 23 February at Warrnambool Community Garden, Summer fruit tree pruning demonstration 11am and Growing a Healthier, More Productive Edible Garden workshop 2pm
"These workshops are an excellent opportunity for our community to learn from one of Australia's leading horticulturalists," Ms Mathew added.
"We're grateful for the support from Warrnambool City Council, which allows us to offer these sessions and to Craig for his willingness to share his wisdom."
The workshops aim to empower local residents with the knowledge and skills to grow and maintain productive fruit trees and edible gardens, further supporting Fruit Rescue's efforts of reducing food waste and promoting local food production.
