John Pinniger of the Heritage Fruits Society and Transition Darebin will run a ‘masterclass’ in grafting for anyone who would like to improve their skills – or learn the basics of fruit tree grafting. This will be hands-on. It will involve learning the reasons for, and the science of grafting, and then plenty of time to practice. The main focus will be on apples. Budding will also be discussed. Bring a sharp knife if you have one.

There is no cost, but the third hour of the three-hour session will be assistance with the grafting of Heritage Fruits Society’s trees, including potting, labelling, etc (part learning, part application).

Maximum 6 participants. Book by email to eventsHFS@gmail.com.
