The WSU Master Gardeners are offering a Zoom class called “Small Fruits & Berries”, on Thursday, March 11, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The class will be presented by a Master Gardener panel.

Topics that will be covered in the class include purchasing, planting, maintaining, harvesting and use of strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, blueberries, huckleberries, grapes, and other native and more uncommon fruits and berries. The class fee is $5, ($3 for MGs), and can be paid by check or money order.

Those who are registered will receive an email, a day before the class, with the Zoom link and directions on how to access the presentation. The Zoom class will be interactive so participants will be able to make comments and ask questions.
