Ever wanted to graft your own fruit trees? Grafting fruit trees is useful for preserving old varieties, starting a backyard orchard or growing multiple varieties of the same species on one tree.  Most of the rootstocks available on the day are dwarfing or semi-dwarfing varieties which allow space-saving in the backyard and a wide range of apple scions will be available from local trees. Join us at Moss Vale Community Garden to develop your practical skills with the help of some expert instruction.
