The Southeast Strawberry Expo takes place Nov. 11-13, with the main conference happening on Nov. 12-13, at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel, in Durham. The Expo is oriented toward plasticulture strawberry production. Any grower with a serious interest in strawberry production -- on a scale greater than a home garden -- will find it worthwhile. For example, there are session on frost/freeze protection, growing strawberries in high tunnels, and avoiding costly mistakes for new growers. And the trade show is a great way to meet suppliers of plants, packaging, etc.
