Have an old apple tree at home that is in need of some care? Or looking to plant and care for a home orchard? This is the workshop for you!  Join Ken Gooch, retired Director of Forestry Health for the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, as he leads the pruning portion of the workshop. You will learn the basics of apple tree pruning along with an opportunity to try your skills on the trees in the orchard at Hancock Shaker Village. With the pruning complete, you will then learn the critical skill of grafting! Grafting is the process of combining scion wood with a rootstock to propagate a desired apple (or other fruit) variety. Rootstock and scion wood will be provided, and you will be able to take home an heirloom apple seedling! Activities will be paired with a guided craft hard cider tasting from Berkshire Cider Project. And everything will be hosted on the beautiful grounds of Hancock Shaker Village – the oldest working farm in the Berkshires! See the Event Website to register.
