PRINCESS ANNE – Tomato grafting is the focus of a March 10 workshop at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.  The hands-on, informative class is limited to the first 20 registrants and will be held in the Agricultural Research Building on campus.

Anyone who grows tomatoes that are not resistant to air- and soil-borne diseases should attend.  Participants will learn the history and science of grafting as well as receive hands-on instruction about tomato grafting techniques.  In addition, every participant will leave the workshop with grafted plants to take home.

Registration for the Tomato Grafting Workshop costs $20 per person and includes lunch.  To register visit tomatografting2018.Eventbrite.com.  For more information, contact the Small Farms Program offices at 410-651-6693/6070 or by email to Errol Mattox at eamattox@umes.edu.  Persons needing special accommodations to attend must contact the offices at least 2 weeks in advance.   Additional information can be found at www.umessmallfarm.com.
