Grow Trees?

[Akiva]

Great "heads up" to anyone interested in learning grafting, a significant 
cultural practice for any permaculturist/orchardist. If you are fortunate to 
connect with the folks listed below, you will be very pleased. Thanks for 
the original postings.

>The California Rare Fruit Growers offer a free Grafting program to

>trees to create a of their own tree with more desirable characteristics. 
>The program takes place on school grounds and addresses heredity, genes, 
>evolution, and adaptation. CRFG educational instructors lead students 
>through the 90-120 minute program and each student has the chance to graft 
>a tree of their own. Fifth grade students and up as pearing knives will be 
>briefly used. Schedule your free presentation before November as this is a 
>seasonal
opportunity.
