Fruit Tree Pruning and Grafting With Marco Chung-Shu Lam at Willow Way

Fruit Tree Pruning and Grafting With Marco Chung-Shu Lam at Willow Way
A staple of permaculture design, fruit trees yield more food per acre than annual crops with less work once they are established. In this experiential workshop, you will learn what fruit tree varieties are best suited to a variety of micro-climates in our bioregion, routine care of trees, how to avoid early frost-kill, and the basics of pruning and grafting. At the end of this workshop, you will go home with a fruit tree you have grafted yourself. Please bring grafting shears or a sharp knife if possible.

Instructor Marco Lam has been practicing and teaching permaculture for over a decade in diverse climates from Hawaii to the Front Range of Colorado. Originally trained by the co-founder of permaculture, Bill Mollison, Marco now teaches at Naropa University where he trains a new generation to combine grassroots activism with hands-on earth repair. He is also the director of the Mandala Integrative Medicine Clinic and CEO of Divine Farmer Herbals.
