*Learn to Top Graft Your Fruit Trees!*

*with Ed Hachfeld*

*at **Mesa** **Harmony** **Garden***

Attend a Top Grafting class with Ed Hachfeld at Mesa Harmony Garden, an 
exciting new Food Forest in Santa Barbara that is growing fruit for the 
Food Bank. (www.mesaharmonygarden.org) Learn how to graft multiple 
varieties of fruit onto */_an existing tree_/*. You can turn apple, pear 
or stone fruit trees into a fruit cocktail tree by grafting different 
varieties onto it. By grafting onto an existing tree, the grafted wood 
will often produce fruit within a year.

93109. It's near the corner of Meigs and Cliff, but enter from the 
Dolores entrance. Dolores crosses Meigs and is one block northeast of Cliff.
