Environmental Information Evening: Edible Gardens - Growing Fruit Trees at Home
As part of the City of Stonnington's Sustainable Living Expo we are also holding an Environmental Information Evening in the week leading up to the Expo.
Wednesday 11 May 2011, 7.00 – 8.30pm

Garden can be relaxing and fun but eating the "fruits" of your labour is one of the most rewarding aspects of gardening.
The best time of the year to plant fruit trees in the winter, so come along to Council's Environmental Information Evening to hear from Sustainable Gardening Australia on everything you need to know about planting, pruning, picking and pampering fruit trees.
