Growing Strawberries and Blueberries

Program: Are you interested in growing strawberries and/or blueberries, or have you tried to do so unsuccessfully in the past? Come and learn which varieties are recommended, what their requirements are for light, soil, water and fertilizer, how to plant and care for your plants, how to propagate them, and what to do about diseases and pests.
