Werribee Park Heritage Orchard

The Werribee Park Orchard is a joint effort by the community and Parks Victoria to preserve and restore the fruit orchard originally planted by the Chirnside family in the late 1800s.

Built on the Werribee River floodplain, the orchard was a major source of fruit such as apples, quinces, pears and stone fruits for the Chirnside family. It continued to grow fruit for those studying at the seminary until the 1970s, when the State Government purchased it.
