Blueberries and Blackberries

If you have never grown your own Berries, there is nothing more rewarding.  You cannot beat the flavour of homegrown fruits and berries grown in your own back yard.  And with the rising cost of groceries these days, you may want to consider growing your own.  Whether traditional garden, container or raised bed, a well-tended bed of brambles will produce your favourite berries for years to come.  Plant Berries once and reap the benefit for years to come.  Your family will love it.

Blackberries

Blackberries are very easy to grow.  Once this native berry is ripe, get ready for an abundant harvest, picking every couple of days.  Blackberries are very healthy and contain antioxidants that can help lower cholesterol and ward off cardiovascular disease.  They are high in fiber & packed with vitamin C.

Blueberries

Blueberries, as with other easy to grow berries, need a sunny spot, proper drainage and appropriate soil conditions.  Also packed with antioxidants, these self pollinators will offer pounds and pounds of delicious berries!   Blueberries are a super fruit, rich in antioxidants, memory enhancing, aid in anti-aging, and improve vision. The bonus is that home-grown berries just taste better and save money!
