Introduction to Grafting
684 Lake Wilhelm Road, Sandy Lake, PA 16145-2310
Join DCNR for an introduction to grafting. Once a commonplace agricultural skill, grafting – the ancient technique of cloning trees – is rising in popularity as individuals rediscover the value of backyard fruit trees as well as fruit diversity. Participants will not only learn the basics of the whip and tongue graft, but also have the opportunity to graft and take home two apples trees. All tools and materials will be provided. Cost will be $10 per participant to help defray the cost of the plant material. We will be outdoors, so be sure to dress for the weather. Space is limited and registration is required by contacting the park office at 724-253-4833 or by email at goddardsp@pa.gov.
