Thinking about having a few apple trees on your property? Join CCE at Eve’s Cidery on Saturday, April 2, at 10 a.m. to learn the art and science of fruit tree grafting. Learn to graft, and then practice what you have learned by grafting two of your own apple trees.
Autumn Stoscheck, owner of Eve’s Cidery, will guide you through this fun activity and answer your apple growing questions. The workshop is $20 per person and you will go home with two semi-dwarf apple trees. If a couple wants to share the two trees, there will not be an additional charge for the second participant.
The class will be held at Eve’s Cidery, 308 Beckhorn Hollow Rd. in Van Etten.
