Blueberries in the Home Garden
The Center for Disease Control calls them a Powerhouse Fruit, the Mayo Clinic calls them a Superfood, but we just call them delicious. Sweet and tasty, blueberries are an easy low-calorie snack. Not just a versatile treat – blueberries also have many health benefits. Blueberries can be consumed fresh or frozen, without losing any of the health benefits, vitamins, and minerals. In this presentation, we will present successful practices for growing this wonderful, healthy fruit.
