WHAT: 4th Annual I.F. Plant Swap and Scion Exchange

WHEN: Sat. April 18, 2015- 10 am to 4 pm

WHERE:   872 s. Holmes Ave. (the Kirby vacuum office) Idaho falls, Idaho 83401

WHO: any interested farmers, gardeners, or fruit lovers
WHAT: Workshops on grafting fruit trees, rediscovering the forgotten fruits!

WHY: Idaho farmers and gardeners have a legacy of heirloom fruits and plants that are in danger of being lost, and sharing of plants and scions will encourage production of diverse varieties for posterity and sustainable food production.

HOW IT WORKS: Anyone can bring heirloom or open-pollinated cuttings, starts, bulbs, divisions, plants and scions to swap or share. If you do not have plants or scions, you could bring envelopes, anything to share or trade with other gardeners or fruit growers. .

COST: $5 per person, or $8 a couple. Bring a little extra if you want to purchase rootstocks ($5 per rootstock) to graft your own fruit trees!

Grow Your Own Backyard Statement of  Independence!

"Why do we need so many kinds of apples? Because there are so many folks. A person has a right to gratify his legitimate tastes. If he wants twenty or forty kinds of apples for his personal use, running from Early Harvest to Roxbury Russet, he should be accorded the privilege. Some place should be provided where he may obtain trees or scions. There is merit in variety itself. It provides more points of contact with life, and leads away from uniformity and monotony." Liberty Hyde Bailey

Come to 4th Annual I.F. Plant Swap and Scion Exchange and learn to graft trees that taste better than any Johnny Appleseed planted, and grow tasty fruits and vegetables you can repeat year after year.
