Small fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries, and brambles enhance backyard gardens, providing beauty, habitat, and delicious flavors. Meghan Baker will teach us how to choose the proper site for a variety of small fruits and discuss cultural requirements for consistent harvests. She will describe varieties best-suited for our WNC region and help us on our way to truly fruitful, abundant harvests.
