Growing Raspberries & Blackberries at Home

• Wednesday, July 27, 2022, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Raspberries and blackberries, also called ‘brambles, are perhaps the most diverse group of cultivated fruits in the world. Hundreds of species grown through-out northern temperate regions provides homeowners with a wide selection of sweet, juicy and healthy fruit.

Homegrown berries are far more flavorful than the store-bought due to their freshness and high sugar content. In this workshop, participants will learn about different varieties to fit their liking, site preparation and general care from planting to harvest. Tips on telling the difference between raspberries and blackberries when you pick the fruit will be included.

Packed with vitamins and minerals, both blackberries and raspberries are a great snacks for adults and children alike. This workshop will cover:

• Best varieties
• Site selection
• Recommended planting, spacing, and trellising
• Pruning
• Care and maintenance throughout the year
