Berries can be grown in the landscape in many creative ways. Consider a patch of strawberries producing bowlfuls of mouthwatering berries while growing as a ground cover to crowd out weeds. Edible groundcovers like strawberries can be grown under taller berry bushes such as blueberries, honeyberries, and more to form a Multilayer Berry Patch.

And what about blackberries and raspberries?! Oh how wonderful, delicate, plump, and juicy these fruits can be when fresh from the garden, yet so variable in quality and expensive to buy at the store. These cane fruits love our slightly acidic soil and will pop up with ease in the wild. Thornless cultivars are available for a painless backyard harvests from summer to fall.

Raspberries and Blackberries can be incorporated into the edge of an edible landscape, within a food forest, or as a beautiful stand-alone raspberry patch. Raspberry trellises are fun and beautiful too and can be built by Bear Creek Organics to keep the berry patch held upright, tamed, and manicured for maximum productivity in the landscape. Raspberries can also be a profitable crop for small farms and homesteaders looking to generate organic berries for sale.

Few things can match the joy on a summer morning of wandering through the raspberry patch, searching out the plump jewels of ripe yellow and red, grazing through the patch popping berry after berry into your mouth and savoring that surprising burst of sweet and tart of the perfect raspberry. For the more disciplined, gathering a handful or bowl full to add to morning cereal or yogurt. With a big enough patch you can harvest enough to freeze or preserve. Homemade raspberry preserves, nothing better!
