Growing Blueberries*

“Let’s Grow Together” webinars are produced by 10-Minute University™, Clackamas County Master Gardener Association, with a focus on healthy plants, nutritious food, beauty, and biodiversity.

Everyone knows blueberries are delicious parcels of antioxidants, but how many are aware that blueberry plants can live and bear fruit for decades?

This session reveals best practices developed through decades of research by Oregon State University scientists. Topics include how to select among different varieties, soil preparation, planting techniques and cultural practices (fertilizing, watering and pruning), pest and disease problems, and how to manage them.

The presentation is led by Jane Collier, an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener and instructor for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program. Teaching gardening classes since 2006, she has produced numerous instructional videos available at https://cmastergardeners.org/10-minute-university/ Jane brings both home gardening and blueberry farming experience to her engaging presentations.

This online seminar is free with advance registration. Can’t attend live? Register for the session, and you will receive a recording link two days after the class.
