yes you can grow cranberries. but it is not something you would want to plant or grow in your regular gardens. Cranberries need to grow in a lot of water or in a moist place. They need more moisture then your other vegetables. It would be mush easier just to buy them at the store. Buy them at thanksgiving when they are on sale. Then you freeze them for later use. I always freeze bags of cranberries.

You can grow "Highbush cranberries" (viburnum) in your garden in any shady or semi-shady spot. You can get them from your garden center for about ten dollars a bush. In the wild, these bushes are often found near river banks, or in shaded woods. Water your bushes regularly.
Once they are established, they will thrive, and bear fruit.
The berries will somewhat resemble true cranberries, and make a delicious and nutritious jam and juice.

Sure, but you have to live in Maine or Washington State where there are marshy bogs and perfect weather conditions.
Otherwise, grow blueberries instead; they have similar health benefits, and tolerate plain old soil conditions in a variety of climates.
