Blueberry Planting Workshop

Learn how to plant blueberries and begin to produce some of your own food while beautifying your yard!

Here are some facts about blueberries you probably don't know:

* They produce 10-15 pounds of fruit per plant at maturity!
* 6 hours of maintenance per year when planted with beneficial companion plants,
* They are some of the earliest bloomers in the spring and have 4 season interest,
* Kids and adults really like to eat them!
* Their cost keeps climbing, so why not grow your own for your school, neighborhood, or home!

Join Bountiful Backyards co-founder Keith Shaljian for a two hour, kid/community friendly hands on workshop where you will learn all you need to know to grow and care for these wonderful plants!
