Tours of the Heritage Block at Petty's Orchard
On occasion, HFS runs guided walking tours of the Heritage Block at Petty's Orchard:
- at our annual Grafting Day at the Petty's Orchard Heritage Block in August
- at our Apple Tasting events
- for first-time workshop attendees
- on special request
Here's what you can expect if you come along for one of these tours:
- we point out the most interesting features of the block
- you will find out about how it was set out - and why
- an exploration of the collections of the various fruit types
- a chance to learn more about how HFS maintains and uses the block
- ... and any and all questions you might have will be thoughtfully answered!
These tours are a splendid opportunity to appreciate the unique beauty of the orchard and its setting, as well as the great work of our volunteers making and keeping it that way.
