Thirty-one ladies attended the first session of the program at Strodeberry Farm. Dr. Shawn Wright, UK Horticulture Specialists, discussed with the group production and tips for small berries and other fruits. Out of the 31 in attendance, 22 of them were Fleming County residents.
The experience at an on-sight location for the first session was a welcomed adventure for the group. 95% of the group stated that they enjoyed the Small Fruit program and was looking forward to the other sessions.
