Sat Apr 13th 1000-1100 hybrid zoom presentation – Growing Blueberries, Raspberries and Blackberries in your PNW backyard.

All welcomed to attend. FREE.

Title: Berries in Your Backyard – Growing Blueberries and Caneberries. Presenter: Lisa Wasko DeVetter, Associate Professor of Horticulture, Washington State University. Description: Blueberries and caneberries (raspberry and blackberry) are hallmarks of summer for many gardeners. This presentation will provide an overview of key horticultural aspects to grow these crops successfully in a backyard setting.

This is the same talk given in-person this past March up at NW Fruit’s Mt. Vernon spring event.

With the right dirt, these berry plants are relatively easy to grow yielding bounteous harvests of nutritional fruit that can be very pricey when store-bought (No idea why since these plants give so much for so little).

Plans are to zoom-record Lisa’s talk and make available to interested individuals unable to attend on 4/13.
