Welcome to our gallery of fantastic berry bushes!

If you’re looking for a garden option that adds great life and color to your space as well as nutrition, consider a berry bush. Berry bushes are perfect for small and large gardens alike.

Berry bushes provide great snacks and visual texture for your garden. Berries can be used for jams, jellies, ice cream toppings, and many other edible options. If you are not interested in eating all of the berries at once, berries freeze well and can be stored for later use.

Berry bushes are also inexpensive and variable. If you are looking for a great addition to your garden there are many different berry bushes to choose from. Berry bushes last for years and continue to produce year after year. You will quickly make back what you spent (and then some) on the bushes in berries.

Pros

Food – Berry bushes can provide you and your family with some great snacking options. Fresh berries are a great addition to your diet. A handful of deliciously sweet berries is better than candy any day.
Appeal – Berry bushes are pretty and can add extra color and texture to your garden.

Cons

Critters – Berries can attract animals that are looking to find food. If you want to keep your berries safe you may need to take measures to keep animals out of your space and out of your bushes.
Care and maintenance – Some berry bushes need to be pruned on a regular basis to maximize production. Each berry bush is different so it will take some research to perfect the proper care routine for your bushes.

Berry bushes are fairly inexpensive. Depending on which kinds of berries you choose you can expect to spend between $3 and $18 per bush.
