Learn the timeless art of fruit tree grafting in this hands-on workshop with Marco Lam. In this immersive class, you’ll explore the why and how of grafting—rootstock selection, scion wood preparation, cambium alignment, and aftercare—while gaining a deeper understanding of how resilient, cold-adapted orchards are cultivated. Marco brings a regenerative land stewardship lens to the craft, weaving practical technique with orchard ecology, varietal preservation, and the long-term vision of growing food sovereignty in mountain climates.
Each participant will graft their own heritage, cold-hardy fruit tree and take it home ready to plant and thrive. You’ll leave with not only a living tree, but the confidence and skill to continue grafting in seasons to come. Whether you’re starting a backyard orchard or expanding an established homestead, this class offers the rare opportunity to propagate regional genetics, preserve heirloom varieties, and root yourself more deeply in the living cycle of fruit, land, and lineage.
If you have scion cuttings of a tree you wish to propagate or preserve, bring them to class.
After the class, we will have a farm-to-table lunch on back porch and answer any questions while we enjoy the best of the spring harvest!
