Apples growing on treeJoin Nick Rowley and Renae Moran from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension for a hands-on demonstration of bench grafting. Bench grafting is a propagation technique used to join dormant scion and rootstock. Participants will use grafting tools to graft young trees they can take home.

Registration for this workshop is $50 and is required to cover the cost of material. Registration is limited to 12 participants. This workshop is perfect for homeowners and small hobby orchards but is open to all. Due to the use of sharp knives youth participants must have a parent or guardian present. All participants must sign an assumption of risk waiver prior to the start of class.

For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, contact Nick Rowley, 207.778.4650, or nicholas.rowley@maine.edu.
