GROWING BLACKBERRIES

Blackberries ripening in the sun at the Arboretum
Join the Master Gardeners Thursday, July 5th, for the monthly FREE Walking Tour of the Pitt County Arboretum.  This month's main topic will be growing blackberries.  Our Small Fruits Garden was started in the Fall of 2010.  We have two rows of thornless blackberries growing on trellises.
One row is Arapaho and the other is Navajo.   Our Garden Curator will be there to share his knowledge of growing the best berries in Pitt County.
