Growing Blueberries in Your
Backyard
It’s a wonder more people don’t
grow these carefree, long-lived,
disease and insect-free shrubs. Learn
site requirements, soil preparation
to achieve the acidic requirements,
cultivars for our climate, buying
plants, pruning and seasonal
protection from birds, rabbits and
winter. Paul Richtman

Are You Ready to Go Native?
Native Landscapes have become popular in recent years. These diverse, eco-
friendly landscapes provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife. They consist
of a plant community that is adapted to a specific environment. The right
plant palette matched to your site conditions will need less irrigation and
fertilization—saving you time and money. Learn about the unique benefits
and challenges plus find out if it is right for you. Bring photos of your yard
and landscape projects. Carolin Dittman
