Gardening in Bilpin
Bilpin's cool winters suit apples, pears and stone fruit, and winter is the time to prune them for good structure and next season's fruit. We prune home orchards and fruit trees on smaller properties.
The 2019 Gospers Mountain fire came through Bilpin, and many locals are serious about fire preparation. We clear gutters, leaf litter, long grass and dead undergrowth around homes and sheds before the danger period starts.
