And we also will host grafting classes on April 6th and April 7th
One of the features of the early Propagation Fairs was an onsite grafting class taught by Jim McGinty. When it was necessary to switch to an e-mail/postal based scion sale in March 2020 we were not able to offer the grafting class. Even though the sale of scions is still by email/mail, we were able to again offer a grafting class beginning in 2021, taught by Mike Chase. This year we have two afternoons in early April set aside for grafting classes. You can enroll for one offered the afternoon of April 6th or the afternoon of April 7th. Details of the class and enrollment process are here.
