When

In collaboration with the Wise County Virginia Cooperative Extension Agency the park will be hosting two tree grafting workshops. Rootstock will be available, as will several varieties of scion wood.
Grafting, or graftage, is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion while the lower part is called the rootstock. If participants have old varieties they'd like to graft, they're welcome to bring their own scion cuttings.
Each registered person will get seven rootstocks, and additional rootstock may be purchased at the workshop for $1 each. For additional information about the grafting workshop, please call the extension office at (276) 328-6194, or email Phil Meeks at pmeeks@vt.edu for more information and to register.
