Rose & Fruit Tree GRAFTING COURSES
Martineau Gardens, 27 Priory Road, Edgbaston (opposite Priory Hospital)
Learn how to graft fruit tree varieties on to dwarf or semi-dwarf rootstocks to produce a tree for the small garden. Large choice of scions, the fruiting part, will be available and rootstocks M26, M9 and dwarf plum (Pixy).
It is still possible to arrange 1:1 up to 1:3 fruit tree grafting sessions up until April 7th. To book, or for more details, contact:

Each session costs £8, £5 unwaged, plus £2 per rootstock. (Proportion of course fee in Hearts or other LETS currency negotiable.)
It is proposed to run a bud grafting course in late June when it will be possible to graft fruit trees, especially Plum, as well as propagating Roses.
Contact Sally Robinson as above as early as possible to register your interest in bud grafting and ensure that the course will be run.
