Pruning Working Party

Mundaring Seed Savers

Hands-on learning for a good cause, in a lovely Mundaring home orchard

ONE GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHERTwo of our local members - a wonderful plantswoman &amp; her husband - have gifted our Boomerang Bag makers with some very appreciated items. They also previously donated fruit trees which were successfully relocated to the Community Garden in Glen Forrest. We'd like to return the favour, offering potential working party attendees some pruning guidance, tool sharpening skills and a free lunch with other locals to boot. The couple have a very diverse, well loved orchard collected and grafted over many years. Peter Coppin set up the impressive infrastructure for the espaliered section so there's a lot to learn from in this garden. Sadly though, because of health issues, it has become a bit much to handle alone for the owners.We'd like to Lend a Hand with the pruning and need a bunch of volunteers willing to spend a few hours helping out. If you're comfortable with pruning, you can hang out with other grower types OR polish up your skills with our volunteer Pruning Pro. Greg Hedley from the new Chidlow Community Garden has lots of horticultural &amp; tree management experience. We persuaded him to guide newbies in:Tool Sharpening - quick basics 30mins before we start pruningPruning Basics for Newbies - hopefully with a lot of learning-by-doing (so bring your secateurs)SOUP LUNCH &amp; REFRESHMENTS PROVIDED (vegie &amp; non-veg)PROGRAM FOR THE DAY9.30a Sharpening Tools with guidance from Greg10am Hit the orchardWHERE: Phillips Rd, Mundaring (Location details supplied after registration.)BRING: Secateurs, loppers, pruning saws, gloves, hat, drinking water etc
