Description
The Art and Science of Community Grafting with Sean Halloran
Free talk Saturday, Nov. 2, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
at Cambridge Public Library's Lecture Hall, 449 Broadway, Cambridge
Learn about the art and science of tree grafting with plant scientist Sean Halloran. Sean’s role as plant propagator is key to the apple tree grafts that are at the heart of “The Community Grafting Project," a living public art project the City of Cambridge has commissioned from the architectural and design studio TSKPxIKD. The project combines plant science, learning, play, community, and environmental stewardship to give new life to a beloved apple tree was removed as part of the reconstruction of the City of Cambridge's Tobin Montessori and Darby Vassall Upper Schools complex. In the talk, Sean will explain how all the apples we get at the store or orchards are grown from grafts rather than seeds.
