Learn the timeless skill of tree grafting with our Fruit Tree Grafting Workshop. Practice the whip and tongue 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
Convenience snack items will be available. Please feel free to bring your own snacks or bring something to share.
Where will you be?
Join us at the Yew Mountain Center, a 500-acre Botanical Sanctuary near Hillsboro, WV. 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.
