EVENTS
ABOUT:
Every year a vast network of heritage fruit enthusiasts across southeast Australia swings into action, headed by Neil Barraclough, who is a passionate fruit grower, dedicated to the preservation of our horticultural diversity.
This network of volunteers organises the sharing of rare, unusual and heritage fruit trees that are unknown to the world of commercial fruit growers.
The Heritage and Rare Fruit Network, under Neil's auspices, also passes down to new generations the ancient knowledge and skills of grafting, with grafting workshops held at the same time as the sharing, swapping and selling of fruit tree material and information. No profits are made, and much voluntary work is done to aid bushfire survivors to replant their orchards. Every year the network grows bigger. More people are becoming involved and more venues are springing up.
These "Grafting Days", as they are called, are held in winter when deciduous trees are dormant.
Come along to one of these events and have heritage varieties of apples, pears, plums, cherries etc.grafted so you can take home trees to plant in your orchard.
Varieties that may be available on the day:
Perhaps 200+ apple varieties, 50+ pear varieties 80+ plums, 20+ cherries, some quinces, grapes and fig cuttings and a lot more.

MORE ABOUT GRAFTING DAYS
Grafting Day Hosts provide a no-cost location that is out of the sun and sheltered by wind.
Workshops last 3-4 hours and numbers are capped at 20 (if there are 1-2 grafters) but can increase if more grafters will be attending.
Participants will learn about the Heritage & Rare Fruit Network and how to graft, meet like-minded people and mix while they wait for their fruit tree(s) to be ready.
Waiting time for your grafting fruit tree(s) depends on volume of orders and number of grafters helping. It may take quite some time.
Ideally hosts note names and contact details of attendees so that each region can continue with educational events and activities in years to come.
To keep the workshop price low attendees are asked to bring their own meals/snacks and drinks.
Workshop fee includes a free grafted fruit tree (single scion + non-dwarf rootstock) of choice. Additional rootstocks + 1 scion will be available for purchase around the $8-10 mark with $2 per extra scion.

TREE SALES & GRAFTING DAYS AROUND MELBOURNE & COUNTRY VICTORIA
GRAFTING DAY AT WARBURTON
On Saturday the 19th July we are inviting everyone along to a scion swap and grafting day at-
The Wild Thyme Cafe in Warburton,
3391 Warburton Hwy, Warburton, 3799. Phone: 03 5966 5050
10:30am to 3pm
Everyone welcome. Great venue in a lovely part of the state, so if you are in Melbourne or just east of it come along to the first grafting day of the season. Contact Neil Barraclough.
We are encouraging everyone with scion to share/swap/sell to come along and also working on encouraging people who are able to email a list of what they have so it would be available for people to share within their groups before hand. This would give anyone going to a grafting day the chance to get varieties they are looking for or maybe work as a group to maximise the diversity in their group. People can bring along grape, fig or any other cuttings, potatoes, seeds, any plant material they choose to share/swap/sell.
$5 entry, starts at 10:30am, looking at some workshops and presentations, a grafting day for the locals from 1:00pm which should give people wanting to learn a chance to see a number of different people grafting and learn
Groups can also pick up their rootstocks on the day with prior arrangement. Please contact Neil if you would like to come and if you have any skills/knowledge to contribute to a workshop.
Note this will NO LONGER be held at Millgrove Baptist Church, 4 Cavanagh Rd, Millgrove VIC 3799

GRAFTING DAY AT WARBURTON
On Saturday the 19th July we are inviting everyone along to a scion swap and grafting day at-
The Wild Thyme Cafe in Warburton,
3391 Warburton Hwy, Warburton, 3799. Phone: 03 5966 5050
10:30am to 3pm
Everyone welcome. Great venue in a lovely part of the state, so if you are in Melbourne or just east of it come along to the first grafting day of the season. Contact Neil Barraclough.
We are encouraging everyone with scion to share/swap/sell to come along and also working on encouraging people who are able to email a list of what they have so it would be available for people to share within their groups before hand. This would give anyone going to a grafting day the chance to get varieties they are looking for or maybe work as a group to maximise the diversity in their group. People can bring along grape, fig or any other cuttings, potatoes, seeds, any plant material they choose to share/swap/sell.
$5 entry, starts at 10:30am, looking at some workshops and presentations, a grafting day for the locals from 1:00pm which should give people wanting to learn a chance to see a number of different people grafting and learn
Groups can also pick up their rootstocks on the day with prior arrangement. Please contact Neil if you would like to come and if you have any skills/knowledge to contribute to a workshop.
Note this will NO LONGER be held at Millgrove Baptist Church, 4 Cavanagh Rd, Millgrove VIC 3799
