Season launch this weekend
FRUIT Rescue will launch its third harvest season this weekend, with ambitious goals to double last year’s harvest total.
To celebrate the launch, Fruit Rescue will hold its first-ever winter grafting workshop this Sunday, August 10 at the Warrnambool Community Garden.
Guided by master grafters Neil Barraclough and Carolyn Gemmell, the hands-on workshop will equip participants with skills to preserve rare fruit varieties, rejuvenate ageing trees and create multi-fruit specimens.
The three hour session includes practical grafting instruction with personalised support, accompanied by take-home materials.

“As we continue to grow, so does our impact on both the community and the environment,” Fruit Rescue director, Courtney Mathew said.
“Together, we’re transforming surplus fruit into a shared resource that nourishes us all.”
