Within a few years our local scion exchange had blown up into the largest organics-focused propagation fair in the country. So, we deliberately *disorganized* to wherever we found locally-grounded, community support.

It's a modest schedule this year, beginning in Williams, OR, and then continuing, every weekend, somewhere different, through mid-April. For now, we're everywhere, pruners-in-hand, collecting material to share.
