Gore Main School Orchard

During Term 3 2012 we were lucky enough to have 6 different fruit trees donated to our school!  We now have our own school 'orchard'.  We are so thankful to the family who donated these amazing specimen trees and we look forward to the years of teaching and learning around these.  In the future we can learn many things based around the fruit trees, like pruning, fertilizing, pollination, harvesting, food processes (bottling, stewing etc) and production.  The fruit trees we now have growing are:  Apples, Peaches, Nectarines, Plums and Apricots!  Wow!  We look forward to seeing how they progress!

Check out our beautiful new orchard! 

Healthy fruit tree!  We can't wait till it bears fruit!
