Have you ever wanted to add additional varieties of fruit or flowering trees to your orchard or garden but don’t have the space for a new plant? Do you have an existing fruit tree that does not produce reliably or does not have good fruit?

Join Clallam County Master Gardeners at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 22, at then Woodcock Demonstration Garden, 2711 Woodcock Road for a grafting workshop to demonstrate two types of grafting techniques for trees or shrubs.

This workshop will explain how to framework or top work an established tree to add to or change it to a new variety using a bark grafting method. Summer grafting smaller branches or plants using whip and wedge grafts will also be demonstrated.

All are welcome to join.
