www.eventbrite.com.au/e/gardening-with-tracey-bool-adults-16-civic-library-tickets-34714070720?aff=ebapi Upcoming event: Grafting workshop with Kembla Cherry Orchard
Grafting fruit trees is carried out to acquire a species or cultivar for your needs. Grafting can be done by the home gardener to re-produce an ageing tree, create a new tree, or to have multiple varieties on the one tree where the cultivars are compatible. For instance, you may want a cherry tree with up to 5 different varieties on it to secure a longer fruiting season and promote cross-pollination. Experienced orchardist and owner of Kembla Cherry Orchard, Martin Corby, is running one day grafting workshops this September. Participants will learn about the theory behind grafting and also get the hands-on opportunity to practice whip and tongue grafting method in the field. When: Saturday 17 September, or, Sunday 18 September, 9am-2:30pm. Where: Kembla Cherry Orchard Royalla NSW. Cost: $75 including your own grafted cherry tree to take home and light refreshments. For bookings and more: martin.corby1@gmail.com. Spaces are limited. Upcoming Event: Propagation – New Plants from Old
