We will  be offering two different dates for you to join us (in person) for our 2026 Grafting Workshop in order to accommodate a growing interest.

We are offering you a choice of either Saturday, April 25th, 2026 (1pm-4pm) & Sunday, April 26th, 2026 (1pm-4pm) for our annual workshop.

We will walk you through the history and theory behind grafting, we give you a chance to try grafting out for yourself, and by the end of the workshop you'll have grafted five of your own apple trees to plant at home!

We offer both single and paired registration:

Single registration includes:

• 5 scions and rootstock of your choice*
  
• 1 copy of Fruit Tree Grafting for Everyone (co-authored by Steph!)
• Practice material for one person
• Cost - $150 per person plus tax

*Your options will be a select number of varieties and rootstock that will be outlined on the informational handout you receive closer to the workshop. If you would like any additional rootstock or scionwood, we can provide it for an extra cost.

Ever wondered about the mysterious 'Holistic Spray' we mention? Learn all about how we care for our trees without the use of harsh chemicals it in this workshop.

Join us bright and early to discuss spraying, the ingredients in a holistic spray, when, where, and most importantly, why we use this method! We will show you our set up and offer advice to make your own spray, for your own localized pest and disease pressures. 

We are offering two different dates this year (select from below), for you to join for our 2026 Holistic Spray Workshop in order to accommodate a growing interest.

We are offering you a choice of either Friday, April 10th, 2026 (5:30pm-7:30pm) OR Saturday, April 11th, 2026 (9am-11am).

Registration includes a 1 hour mini-workshop, where you’ll learn:

-the theory behind this method/what is a holistic spray
-how to make a holistic spray
-what ingredients you’ll need
-how to tweak it to suit your needs based on your localized pest pressures
-when to spray (seasonally + time of day)

What to Bring: a lawn chair and note taking material. We will pass around a handout with the basic recipe. Michael Phillip’s book will also be available for purchase; it is an 
invaluable resource!

Please also dress for the weather: we will be outdoors or in an unheated hoop house depending on the weather, followed by a quick tour of the orchard when when we do a demo spray.
