SUMMARY:Belfast Garden Club Speaker Farms the Wild Blueberry
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, April 15\, 2025 at Noon in the Abbott Room of Belfast Free Library\, Belfast Garden Club will host blueberry farmer Ron Howard\, who will discuss how Brodis Blueberries has evolved since its founding in the 1750s.

The farm has survived by sustainably modernizing with the times\, and Ron will discuss what's on the horizon for the next generation.
