Easy graft? Chorlton’s new community garden Between Chorlton Library and the Sedge Lynn there’s a small, but mysterious piece of waste ground, enclosed by railings. There’s actually nothing much inside it, but that’s all about to change… Chorlton Traders, working with Manchester City Council has secured funding from the Clean Green Fund to create a community garden over the coming weeks. The plan? To grow fruit - pears, plums, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, rhubarb, figs, cherries - and more varieties of apple than you can shake a stick at! We’re lucky in Chorlton: Unicorn stocks a wide selection of English apples, but they’re actually just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds of apple varieties, but the ones you tend to see in shops What is grafting and why don't we grow apple trees from pips? When you're choosing an apple tree there are two main considerations: what variety of apple you’d like, and how big you want your tree to grow. The size of the tree is determined by its root: its variety, on the other hand, is all and garden centres aren't necessarily the ones that will thrive here in the North. Hilary Dodson, from the Northern Fruit Group, has years of knowledge and experience of what works best in our very special climate. Hilary will be running a grafting workshop in March: find out how to graft your own apple trees, help make trees for the community garden – and take something about what’s above ground. The grafting process involves connecting a cutting (or scion) from a tree whose apples you want, to a root stock which will give you the size of tree that's right for your garden. It's the way nearly all fruit trees are made and has been for thousands of years. home with you too! The grafting wood you’ll be using is specially selected to do well in Manchester gardens. Cost is £15, which includes lunch and two apple trees to keep. Places are limited and booking is essential: lesley@communityindex. co.uk Chorlton Library Meeting Room, Saturday 14th March, 11.30am- 4pm You can grow an apple tree from a pip. That said, even if you know the variety, you can’t actually be sure of the kind of apple it will produce. Perhaps more importantly in our urban gardens, you have know way of knowing how enormous your tree will eventually become! Chorlton Library Community Garden Apple Grafting Workshop Saturday 14th March 12.30 - 4pm £15 including lunch and a grafted apple tree to take home with you! Delivered by Hilary Dodson of the Northern Fruit Group working with Chorlton Traders email: lesley@communityindex.co.uk to book your place 39
