Interesting workshop in the Chicago area
This message primarily for gardeners in the Chicago area, but anyone is
welcome to attend, if they are willing to travel the distance. Midwest Fruit Explorers is doing their annual grafting workshop on March 21, 2004 at Cantigny Greenhouse (near Wheaton,IL), and repeated on March 28, 2004 at the Chicago Botanic Garden (in Glencoe, IL). Admission is free and the only charges are for grafting supplies and/or parking at the Glencoe location ($8.75 for non-members of the Garden). We will give a short required lecture on techniques starting at 1 p.m., and then go on to a hands-on class in grafting, assisted by members of Midfex. You can pick from a variety of scion wood and rootstocks. We supply rootstocks M27, Bud 9, and M26 for apples, OHXF513 for pears, and Pumi Select for plums. There is a large selection of scion wood to pick from, as well. Bring a sharp knife(grafting type preferred). Because of space limitations, we ask that only participants attend these sessions, but if you bring the family, there are many interesting things at the Botanic Garden, but Cantigny might not be as good, this time of the year. Email me for any questions and to register(just a formality to keep track of people attending). Sherwin Dubren |
