Orange County Cooperative Extension, in partnership with Orange County 4-H clubs, will be taking orders for blueberry plants from February 15 until March 25.  All purchases will help the Cooperative Extension team and 4-H clubs fund activities related to professional development and capacity building in the areas of agriculture and food, family & consumer sciences, 4-H youth development, and community & rural development.

All plants sold are to be free from disease, insects, and injurious pests. Orange County Cooperative Extension is not responsible for the survival of plants and will not be responsible for the results secured in transplanting. Please follow proper planting guidelines. A soil test is highly recommended before planting to ensure proper soil pH. If you have any questions concerning proper ground preparation or planting methods, please contact the Orange County Cooperative Extension Center at 919-245-2050 prior to pick up dates to speak to Horticulture Agent Mart Bumgarner.  For general information about growing blueberries in the home garden, visit https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/growing-blueberries-in-the-home-garden.
