Apple Grafting Workshop

Through our efforts to conserve open space, Greenwich Land Trust also maintains a living link to the agricultural history of Greenwich. On several of our orchard preserves, we protect heritage varieties of apples grown when the town was known for its fruit exports. Grafting these varieties onto younger trees allows these historical apples to continue to flourish in the region, and gives people the opportunity to taste a little of Greenwich’s past. Charles Day, a former commercial fruit-grower, will lead a hands-on workshop on grafting science and technique. Participants will have the opportunity to hone their grafting skills on real trees in one of the Greenwich Land Trust’s beautiful orchard preserves. Cost is $45/person.
