In November, applications will be available if you'd like part of the 100-year-old vine for transplanting--reader Jiradon Rader-Chambers, the creator of the project, gives us an update:
The Garden Club of Metuchen has been an amazing help for this project. Jeanne Coppola Giarratano is 100% behind this mission. So far Tyreen Reuter and the other members of the Borough Improvement League for the Old Franklin School has graciously allowed the vine to be planted on the grounds of the O.F.S. The GCM's Master Gardener, George Kuhne has been researching ways to go about the transplanting. Also Jeanne was in touch with the owner of the Renault Winery and he suggested taking cuttings to achieve the transplanting instead of digging up the vine. It seems that at this point we will be offering cuttings to the community and instructions on propagating the vine. Right now we are throwing ideas out there so nothing is set in stone but it seems that the cuttings possibility is the most viable. I will let you know more when we decide. Thanks, Jirapon
