Growing Strawberries - A 2 hour Indoor/outdoor workshop.
Strawberries are one of the most popular and healthful fruits. Their small plant size and suitability to the region provides flexibility for growing approaches and opportunity for those with small spaces or no yard. Sonia Schloemann will help participants through the basics and give them the tools to overcome some of the challenges. Topics will include variety selection, soil requirements, planting and cultural practices, key pests and their management, and there will be time for questions. Then, outside, we will put that knowledge into practice. Speaker, Sonia Schloemann, will remain available via email for attendees to ask questions if something isn't clear once the program is over. Participants are invited to a BYO lunch between the raspberry and strawberry workshops if attending both.
