The rootstocks have arrived! The delivery of rootstocks for the course was delayed because of the wet weather, but we’re delighted to announce that our ever-popular annual grafting course will now go ahead on Saturday 7 March,10.00 – 12.30, at Holy Name Parish Hall, Towers Avenue, NE2 3JX. The cost of £30 includes two trees; extra trees are available for a small extra charge. Many varieties of apples will be available; skilled and enthusiastic tutors will guide you through the process of grafting your chosen varieties onto rootstocks suitable for tubs, small gardens or allotments. If you have a particular variety in mind, let us know as soon as possible. All tools and materials will be provided.
There may still be a few places available. If you’re interested, contact fionakclarke@yahoo.co,uk or phone 0191 2810758 as soon as possible.
