The Club is planning an air layering workshop at a member's home in Cottage Hill sometime after the April meeting. We will air layer a number of large sasanquas and then come back in the fall and harvest them. After the plants are well established, we will use them for grafting. If you are interested in learning to air layer with a hands on experience, a sign-up sheet will be passed around at the meeting.
