COVID UPDATE: This event has been rescheduled to be on the 30th March, after the 'rule of six' comes into effect, allowing groups of up to 6 people to meet outdoors.

-------------------

Grafting means you can be sure of the variety of fruit and the size of the tree. In the workshop you will learn how easy grafting can be by having a go at creating your own fruit trees. All instructions and materials will be provided, although you are welcome to bring along some "scion" material - fresh cuttings of last year’s growth from a tree that you would like to propagate .

The workshop will be led by Alan Thornton who has grafted hundreds of trees.

All participants will get to take away one apple tree they have grafted, with the option of grafting more rootstocks for £4 each.

This is part of a programme of short training courses that you might also be interested in: formative pruning; restorative pruning; top grafting; scything; summer pruning & bud grafting.

We want this event to be accessible for as many people as possible, so tickets are available on a PAYF basis. The recommended donation is £20, but this can be higher or lower depending on your circumstance.

Covid-19 might mean we have to change the date, but we would be in touch with registered participants at least a week before the scheduled date if that is the case.
