Want to add fruit trees or berries to your garden, but not sure where to start? Now is the perfect time of year to buy and plant many perennial fruits, and this introductory class will set you up for success in growing tasty berries and fruits in the Pacific Northwest for years to come!
In this class you will learn about:

- Recommendations for what grows well in the Pacific Northwest
- Best practices for planting new trees and shrubs and tips for future care

This in person class will feature an interactive lecture and slideshow, garden tour, and time for questions and answers. Participants will receive a reference guide covering fruit and berry recommendations, including growing tips and additional resources. We’ll spend time both indoors and outdoors, please plan to dress for the weather. Class size is limited to about 15 people, and we will be following current public health recommendations.
