Kent Strawberry is a favourite of urban gardeners and commercial growers. This June Bearing (Short Day) strawberry grows well on the prairies and produces high yields of bright red fruit that bursts with flavour. Great for fresh eating or try them in your next batch of jam or baking.

One of the most cold hardy strawberries!

Lowbush Cranberry is a short, deciduous shrub native to North America. Its white flowers bear sour but edible fruit that ripens to a brilliant red in fall. Lowbush Cranberry's small size makes it suitable for urban use; buyers will also find it useful if trying to reclaim land back to its original species or when landscaping with native species in damp conditions.
