Learn how to graft and bud fruit trees, flowers, and other plants. Price will be $30 per student. The price includes:
1. "Powerpoint" Grafting and budding step by step instructions.
2. A live demonstration of several grafts.
3. A citrus or peach rootstock to graft and take home
4. All supplies necessary to graft your take-home tree
5. A handout of class notes.
Please bring your own grafting knife, if you have one. Several methods of grafting and budding will be presented. To sign up, email me your name and phone number. Also, indicate if you want me to order you a stainless steel grafting and budding knife (see picture below) for $20 extra. The classes will be approx. 2 hours in length and taught in February, one class will be held on a week day and another class will be held on a Saturday. You only need to attend one of the classes to complete the course. I set the date in late January to try and hit some nice days because part of the class is outdoors. People who sign up will be contacted a week in advance of the classes for more details. You can cancel at anytime up until the time the class starts.
