Nature House Lite: Summer Pruning and T-bud Grafting Workshop (Thursday, August 8th, 10am - 12pm)

Location: Paula and John Errington’s property (92 Hollyberry Lane - first driveway on your right as you come down HBL)

Grafting is a horticultural technique used to join parts from two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant. This can have many advantages, including disease/pest resistance, hardiness, sturdiness, hybrid, pollen, repair, curiosities, and more! In this workshop, our grafting guide, John Errington, will discuss the benefits of summer pruning of fruit trees as well as t-bud grafting of apple rootstock. Depending on the number of participants, you will have the opportunity to graft a bud to a rootstock. Last year, participants grafted three trees, and all were successful!

Note: There is limited parking on Hollyberry Lane, so please park at the entrance to Hollyberry Lane to allow access for incoming/outgoing vehicles. Thanks!
