A Chapter of Western Cascade Fruit Society
Membership Application Rev 12-20-11
Peninsula Fruit Club has been a chapter of Western Cascade Fruit Society for twenty-one years. Our Club was formed to bring together people who will promote the science, cultivation and pleasure of growing fruit bearing trees, shrubs, vines and berry plants in the landscape. We provide the public with knowledge and the ability to cultivate their own fruit. We do this through fruit shows, orchard tours, workshops, publications and other forms of media.
Club activities consist of, a spring grafting workshop, a high school grafting program, September Potluck/Orchard Tour, our booth at the Kitsap County Fair and a Fall Fruit Show. Guest speakers are scheduled for November, January and February.
We have hands-on grafting during meetings and at our annual grafting workshop. The workshop this year will be March 3rd, at the Bremerton Central Library in East Bremerton. Skilled grafters from our club give hands-on demonstrations with apple, pear and plum trees. We also make scion wood and rootstocks available.
We gather up rootstocks and scion wood after our workshop and teach the process in the neighboring high school horticultural classes. Our school grafting program is now in its 10th buy champix singapore year.
Every club has an end of the season get together and ours is a great big potluck dinner, usually at a member’s house. There’s usually an orchard tour afterward. Everyone has their own way of growing fruit and we’ve been learning one another’s various tricks.
Our club has a booth at the Kitsap County Fair, which is located in the Pavilion. We handed out lots of information. Many questions were asked about tree fruit problems. We hope we were able to help folks with their fruit problems. We expect they’ll invite us back to the fair for the foreseeable future because not only did we provide a service, but the members had a ball.
Everyone gets a chance to show what they’ve been growing during the year at our Fall Fruit Show held in mid-October. The public is invited to view the fruit displays and ask questions.
Our club meets at the Bremerton Parks and Recreation Center, 680 Lebo Blvd, at 7:30 PM on the second Thursday of the month. Meetings and workshops dates are listed in the local newspapers. Our meetings are open to the public.
