What better way to enjoy fresh fruit than picked from your own backyard! We'll walk you through specifics for all edible fruits that we carry in the spring. Choose from classics like apples, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, or pick something a little more unique, like honeyberry, serviceberry, currant, elderberry, goji berry, and more! We'll also discuss technical details like grafting, cross-pollination, and dormant spray treatments.
Attendees are also entered for the chance to win a $100 Vandermeer gift card that will be drawn at the end of the presentation, graciously donated by Fafard!
