Mission Garden has heritage fruit trees of many varieties. Have you ever wondered how to grow new heritage fruit trees in your own yard? Every year in February Jesús García teaches how to grow new Kino Heritage Fruit Trees from the ones at the Garden. Learn about the amazing origins of the Garden's heritage trees, how to take cuttings, and how to root those cuttings to grow new trees. All class members will go home with some cuttings!
The class is limited to 10 individuals. (Ten other registrants from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's Education Program will join the class.)
Jesús García is an Education Specialist at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and a member of the Friends of Tucson's Birthplace Board of Directors (more about Jesús here).
