We’ll cover the ins and outs of growing blueberries, raspberries, lingonberries, gooseberries, blackberries, lingonberries, and strawberries -- and, of course, taste whatever’s ripe. Pre-registration is necessary; the cost is $35 until July 10th, $40 thereafter, with checks mailed to me at 387 Springtown Rd., New Paltz, NY 12561. Enrollment is limited.
