SFA Gardens Seminar to Focus on Grafting Techniques

Dr. David Creech, Stephen F. Austin State University professor emeritus of agriculture and director of SFA Gardens, will discuss plant grafting techniques during the SFA Gardens seminar on Feb. 22 from 9 am-noon at the Brundrett Conservation Education Building, PIneywoods Native Plant Center, 2900 Raguet St.
“Grafting is part art and part science,” Creech said. “We will look at the tools, skills and timing for both grafting and budding. Once you do several thousand, you can count yourself as skilled.”

The seminar will feature a brief PowerPoint overview, and then participants will try their hand at grafting. Rootstock, scions, grafting tape and rubber budding strips will be provided. Attendees should bring a small, sharp pocket knife. Participants will practice on a variety of plants and take home their own grafted specimens.
The cost is $30 for SFA Gardens members and $40 for non-members. SFA students may attend the seminar at no charge. To register, visit SFA Gardens web page, click on “About,” then “Store.” For student registration or further information, contact Kay Jenkins, environmental education programs coordinator, at (936) 468-1832 or kay.jenkins@sfasu.edu.
