[Scpg] Ojai Grafting Workshop rescheduled, for Sat. March 20

[Carol Vesecky]

Friends, we are now able to plan definitively the twice-postponed workshop. Some of our rootstock is swelling to the required minimum pencil-thickness, and we've found a date that works for us: Saturday, the 20th of March. Please sign up early; it's first come, first serve! 

We're offering work exchange for the donation: 2 hours of weeding here will get you in! Or, net you at least one of the mulberry trees we graft here. Let us know if that might be of interest and if so, propose a time when you can come weed. (The afternoon of the workshop is a good time.)

Looking forward, Carol



Biointensive for Russia presents an introductory 

Mulberry Grafting Workshop

with Kody Ryan, Biodynamic orchardist

Please join us for an introduction to the art of grafting! 

 Kody Ryan will demonstrate simple techniques for grafting scions of delicious, nutritious mulberry varieties -- Oscars, Black Persians,  Pakistans, and Rivieras -- onto rootstock.  You will then have the opportunity to graft one tree yourself, to take home to plant in your own yard or orchard.

**Mulberry Haven is a 100% organic fruit farm established by Gordon and Marie Kennedy in 1978. It is known to some as the oldest mulberry farm in North America. The mulberries in five varieties number 66 mature trees, their berries being marketed each year in late spring and summer. Included among the 100+ other fruit trees are carob, pomegranate, persimmon, avocado, Sunshine grapefruit (grapefruit/pomelo/tangelo cross), blood orange, pomelo, sapote, fig, apricot, and "Sprite" cherry-plum. Carol Vesecky and Irina Kim (who taught GB in Uzbekistan for 12 years) also tend GB gardens in roughly 1000 sq. ft. of the 2-acre property.
