Phillips Library hosts growing highbush blueberries talk May 1

PHILLIPS — Dave Fuller of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension will talk about how to grow highbush blueberries, at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 1, at the Phillips Public Library

Topics will cover everything from plant choice to pruning. He will offer a one-hour program on growing blueberries. The free presentation is part of the Library Seed Loan program and open to the public. Fuller also welcomes gardening questions from the participants.
An agriculture, home garden and non-timber forest products professional, Fuller has been teaching how to produce better crops for 20 years.
The Phillips Library Seed Loan project has available a set of donated seeds patrons can sign out and use. In return, the library asks them to donate back seeds for others to use in the future plantings. Informative talks by local agriculturalists are also part of the Seed Loan project.
Also, there will be an exhibition of Fedco Catalogues over the years in the lobby through June 12. Contact Hedy Langdon at the library with any questions by calling 207-639-2665
