All About Berries

The Northwest is the perfect place to grow berries. Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries all thrive here.

All of these berries with the exception of raspberries are very easy to grow. Raspberries take more care especially in selecting a planting site. This workshop will give you all the information you need to grow great berries.
