Join Nicko Rubin of East Hill Tree Farm Nursery (www.easthilltreefarm.com) for a workshop on grafting and growing fruit trees on March 18th from 1 - 4pm at Cloud Water Farm, 284 VT-100, Warren VT.

Learn the ancient art and science of propagating fruit trees. From scion and rootstock selection through planting out. The workshop will include discussion and demonstration of various bench grafting techniques and materials.

Each participant will learn to graft and have a chance to graft their own trees and leave with 2 newly grafted apple trees. Tools and materials will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own apple scions and a very sharp pocket knife, grafting knife, or utility knife.

*Materials fees are included in the $40 workshop fee.

We also have a couple scholarship spots available on a first come first serve basis for BIPOC community members. Please email joe@cloudwaterfarm.com to inquire.
