Growing Blueberries in Your Backyard (Online)


Adult Classes and Activities / Gain Skills -
Winter 2025

Blueberries are such a carefree shrub that it's a wonder more people don't grow them. They are long-lived and generally free of disease and insect problems. Learn how to easily provide the acidic soil that blueberries love. You will also learn about site requirements, soil preparation, cultivars for our climate, buying plants, pruning, and seasonal protection from birds, rabbits and winter temperatures.  Handouts and a Zoom link will be delivered to you via email the day before the class.

We are confident that you will enjoy the same quality experience from the comfort of home!
