Spring Workshop Series: Top working, Grafting Apples and Pears
Sat, Apr 27 at 10am
Have an apple or pear tree but you don't love the fruit? Well, this is the class for you. In this workshop, we learn how to change or add a new variety of fruit to an existing tree. We will meet at the Oracle Orchard to see examples of how this has been done successfully and we will be taken step by step through the process. Grafting can be exciting and a bit intimidating but this can be a good place to start!
