University of Nevada Master Gardeners are selling locally grown berry plants that were started in the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station’s greenhouses.

At least 1,500 plants will be available, including three strawberry varieties, two red raspberry varieties, two blackberry varieties, and one black raspberry variety.  

“Black raspberries in particular are good plants,” said Plant Diagnostician Wendy Hanson Mazet. “It’s worth it to deal with a few thorns to have something that grows well, is low maintenance and has high antioxidant levels.”

Black raspberries, red raspberries, and blackberries are $10 each, with some smaller pots being sold as three plants for $25.

Strawberries are $5 for a pot with two plants. The sale is online only, ending at 9 a.m., Friday, May 3.

Plants may be ordered online at https://washoemastergardenerplantsale.eventbrite.com.

Plants will be available for pickup 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, May 4, at the Cooperative Extension office at 4955 Energy Way in Reno.
