Ready to take your fruit tree skills to the next level? Join Trees Atlanta and Community Foodscapes for a hands-on workshop about the art (and science!) of fruit tree grafting. Learn how to combine different tree varieties, preserve heritage fruit types, and cultivate stronger, more resilient trees in your own yard or community orchard.

This interactive session will guide you through grafting techniques, timing, and aftercare—perfect for gardeners, orchard enthusiasts, and anyone curious about how a single tree can bear multiple kinds of fruit!

Come ready to learn, connect, and grow your knowledge of sustainable, community-centered food systems under Atlanta’s urban canopy.
