Fruit Tree Grafting at Bilston Creek Farm

Sunday, March 29 from 11:30am – 2pm. Join a host of experts from the Metchosin Pomological Society, for this fun (and free), hands-on seminar as they demonstrate the techniques required to graft your very own fruit tree! Pears, apples, stone fruit, peaches, plums, cherries, almonds and more!

This seminar is presented near the greenhouse at Bilston by the Metchosin Pomological Society. Derek Wulff and Dan O’Connell are local Metchosin Pomological experts and are both excited to share their passion with you.

New to grafting? Purchase your root stock on site for $5 and learn from the experts as they guide you through each step of the process. Leave with a newly grafted tree (or two or three!) to plant at home.

If you have grafted before and want a rootstock or two, come by – bring some of your favourite scion wood for swapping and take home a heritage variety.

If you have a fruit tree at home already – take home some scion wood from other participants donations and graft it to a fruit tree you have at home.

We will have scion wood available for free, but if you have some of your own – please bring it along to share with others. Heritage varieties are most welcome.

This seminar is hosted by Metchosin Pomological Society, and we welcome anyone who is interested in trying their hand at grafting to come out. Kids are encouraged to join for a great educational experience. Pre-registration not required.
