Learn How to Graft Fruit Trees at the December MAEP World Garden Workshop

Learn how to Graft Fruit Trees at Metropolitan Adult Education Program’s (MAEP) World Garden Workshop on December 12, at the Erikson Adult Center located at 4849 Pearl Avenue, San Jose.

Master Gardener Bader Kudsi will teach gardeners of all skill levels how to graft different varieties of fruit trees and how to prolong the harvesting season. Grafting allows gardeners and farmers to grow more than one variety of fruit on their trees. Kudsi has taught grafting techniques for the Master Gardeners throughout Santa Clara County and has taught this workshop at MAEP for the past five years.

The free workshop will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at the MAEP Erikson Adult Center. The workshop is aimed at gardeners who wish to increase the types of fruits they can grow in their backyard and also how to extend the harvest season for a home garden by growing fruits that mature at different times on the same tree.

To register for the free workshop, call 723-6450 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday and ask to have your name added to the December World Garden Workshop list, or email your name and phone number to ritab@metroed.net. Sign-up early, space is limited.
