DIY Fruit Tree Grafting Experience
Get ready to learn the timeless skill of tree grafting with our Fruit Tree Grafting Workshop! Discover the whip and tongue grafting technique and create your own grafted fruit trees in this hands-on class.
Guided by knowledgeable instructors, you’ll work with a variety of apple or pear trees and take home five grafted dwarf trees to start or expand your own orchard.
Grab-n-Go refreshments will be available, please feel free to bring your own snacks or bring something to share.
You will be joining us at the Yew Mountain Center, a 500-acre Botanical Sanctuary. Our mission is to provide programs that explore Appalachian ecology, culture, and the arts while promoting personal and community wellness. We are the home of the West Virginia Forest Farming Initiative and a stop on the Mountain Medicine Trail.
