Cherokee County UGA Extension Opportunities

From: Joshua Fuder

Good morning,

I hope you are well.  Some upcoming programs to keep in mind include.

Grafting Course

Our virtual grafting course is open for registration.  Its going to work a little different this year but I expect it to be almost as good as the in person version.  Registration will be $35 and provide for 5 rootstocks, parafilm, tree tags, and labeled scions.  We have some great heirlooms varieties this year with historical roots in Georgia.  Two of which the ‘Tarbutton’ and ‘Woodstock’ from right here in Cherokee Co.  Materials are limited and this will be advertised across the state so register soon if you are interested. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/apple-grafting-workshop-registration-139974995981
