Why Settle for Store-Bought When You Can Craft Your Own Orchard?
Buying fruit trees is expensive, and most nurseries don’t offer what you really need. Take control of your harvest with a grafting workshop that saves you money and gives you the best trees for your home orchard.
-
Buying enough trees for an orchard adds up fast
-
Most stores carry a limited selection of apple varieties, making it hard to find the best flavors for fresh eating, baking, or cider
-
It's hard to find good events to do with friends
-
Many nurseries don’t offer disease-resistant varieties, leaving homeowners stuck with trees that require frequent spraying.
-
Choosing varieties based on ripening times ensures a steady supply of fresh fruit throughout the season.
We know how frustrating it is to search for fruit trees that are affordable, resilient, and suited to your climate. Too many people spend top dollar on trees that don’t thrive or end up requiring chemical sprays they’d rather avoid. That’s why we created the Grafting Party, so you can get the trees you need, at a price you can afford, while learning a skill that will benefit you for years to come.
We’ve taught individuals, classes, and horticultural societies how to successfully graft their own fruit trees. We also graft fruit trees for our nursery, community orchards, and our own yards!

Imagine walking into your backyard and picking an apple at peak ripeness. Crisp, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Now imagine that you made that tree and hand-selected the variety to match your needs.
By hosting a grafting party, you and your friends will learn how to graft apple trees suited for your climate and growing conditions. Instead of being stuck with the limited (and often overpriced) options at garden centers, you’ll have the freedom to choose disease-resistant, high-flavor varieties that ripen exactly when you want them to. Best of all, you’ll gain a skill that lets you create and expand your orchard year after year.
