Tree and Shrub Grafting Class at Fort Benton Library
The Fort Benton garden club is hosting a tree and shrub grafting class at the Fort Benton Library at 12:15 on April 19. Those who attend will learn how to make unproductive apple trees and rosebushes productive thru the grafting process. In addition, there will be a hands-on grafting demonstration where gardeners will get to practice. Please bring a grafting knife, paring knife or a carpet knife. Branches, tape and wax will all be available. The class is free and open to the public.
In addition, I encourage Chouteau County gardeners to get involved in a garden club. The Fort Benton Garden Club meets at the library on the third Tuesday of the month from noon to 1:00.
Whether you are a beginner gardener or an experienced one, getting involved with a local garden club can improve your gardening skills, be an opportunity to meet people, and provide inspiration. If your town does not have a garden club, the Extension office can provide information in developing one.
