For the first hour, Dan will give a detailed slide presentation and lecture (with time for questions) about the science and basics of hardwood (or bench) grafting, followed by a hands-on lab. Everyone will have an opportunity to practice their cuts and to graft one apple tree. Rootstock, scion wood and other materials will be provided.
If you have a grafting knife, bring it. Otherwise, you may borrow a knife from the
instructor for your graft. Grafting knives are razor sharp, so any children must be
accompanied by a responsible adult to handle the knife work. The workshop takes
place in the Front Room, upstairs at the Bayview Cash Store, 5603 Bayview Rd. An
elevator is available. For questions and to RSVP, contact education@southwhidbeytilth.org.
