Ah, a chance to learn about tree grafting

I hope I can go to this, because learning this stuff has been on my list for a while! i bet they'd get more people to come if each person got to take one tree home, but that's just the organizer in me talking.

Subject: Fruit tree grafting workshop february 25th 10am-3pm


Come to Ploughshares Nursery on February 25th from
10am until 3pm or whenever we finish, to a fruit tree
grafting workshop with Solomon Rosenzweig. We'll
provide the scionwood and rootstock and the trees are
all for the Alameda Point Collaborative (APC) and
Ploughshares Nursery. You'll learn the basics of
grafting, get to know some great heirloom varieties
and get hands-on experience. Plus you'll be helping us
with our community orchards and nursery. We're trying
to graft 200 dwarf apple trees and possibly other
types. Bring your grafting knives! This will be
outdoors unless its raining and then we'll find an
indoor space. directions are at
www.apcollaborative.org and
www.ploughsharesnursery.com
we'll have signs up on the day to have people find us,
as it will be location depending on the weather.
Questions, please call Christopher Shein at 510-755-1102.
