While it may be a little late to work on tree grafting this year, it is something to be aware of if you are aiming to grow a lot of your own food. Bright Neighbor Portland has addressed this issue in a new report, which was covered by the Portland Tribune. According to their website, “Bright Neighbor’s effective combination of community involvement and social tools helps local governments, communities, faith groups, and businesses increase livability, sustainability, and relocalization while simultaneously improving local economies. Bright Neighbor helps manage the planting, tracking, and long-term survival of fruit and nut trees in communities.”
