BerryCare seeks to teach seniors (55+) attending the Boyle County Senior Center how to grow thornless, erect blackberry brambles and to healthily consume fresh blackberries using Plate It Up Kentucky Proud recipes. Horticulture, nutrition, geriatric, and extension experts are working together to design a blackberry-growing program that engages seniors and their community in each step of the process, from planting to harvesting berries. The lessons will be delivered by experts in their respective field, with accompanying extension publications and supplemental materials provided for replication of the curriculum in other counties.
