WHAT: Workshops on grafting fruit trees, rediscovering the forgotten fruits!
WHY: Idaho gardeners and backyard fruit growers 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 backyard 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! (If you already have an apple or a pear tree you won’t need more rootstocks unless you want more trees.)
