Growing Berries
Learn how to grow berries with experienced gardener and educator Scott Hitchins from Werribee Park Heritage Orchard. Many berries evolved as forest dwellers, coping with a degree of shade and suitable for growing in pots or under trees. We’ll look at the classic brambles and strawberries, but also some of the ‘New World’ berries available these days, such as Cherry Guava, Cape Gooseberry, and Goji Berry.
