Learn to graft your own tomato plants (and keep them alive!).  Dr. Monica Ozores-Hampton and Crystal Snodgrass will teach you how to graft your own tomato plants.  These plants will be resistant to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV), a major problem for both gardeners and commercial growers.  After this hands on workshop, you will be able to graft tomatoes and keep them growing in a growth chamber. You will take home approximately 6 plants of different types and varieties, just in time for your fall garden.  Your $20 fee includes grafted plants and all materials as well as light refreshments.
