Fruit - Berries
Berries are recognised as some of the most nutritious and healthy foods available, and even more so when they come out of your own garden. You can easily grow your own—from blueberries, to strawberries, to the unusual ones like josta or lingon or tay—in even the smallest of gardens.
Bareroot berries | November to March
Nearly all of our berries are sold in bareroot from November to March. We find this is the best way to get your berries started since they're dormant until the weather warms up in spring.
Potted berries | all year round
Some berries are notoriously difficult to get started from bareroot (ahem, raspberries), as many gardeners will have experienced. Because of this, we also stock a large selection of potted berries in spring and throughout the rest of the year. The best selection, and the best time to plant in order to have ripe summer berries the same year, is in spring (April to June). Outside of these times our selection can be limited.
