Question: Do these berries grow well in California? I really want to grow them.?
Chaste berry
Hawthorn
Buck thorn
goji
black currants
acai
barberry
Noni
bilberry
elderberry
What time of the year do some of these grow well, and where is the best region to grow some of these?
Answer: California is a big state! You don't mention where you are or what your hardiness zone is but I can't see any reason you can't grow most of these just about anywhere, with the proper care.

Raintree Nursery recommends what they call California Zone M as being best for growing berries.
ZONE M: (Extreme Marine Influence).. Raintree specializes in varieties for cool maritime climates so you are in luck. Most of our Northwest tested varieties in the Raintree catalog will do well for you. Most of the early ripening, disease resistant apples, pears and plums we offer will thrive. Try leaf curl resistant peaches and Puget Gold apricot. Berries thrive, including Day Neutral, Alpine and Musk Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, Currants, Gooseberries, Boysenberries, Marionberries, Tayberries, and Loganberries. Hardy varieties of Passifloras often naturalize. Colorful fuchsias attract hummingbirds, while roses bloom profusely-try our Rosa rugosa (large hip) varieties. Zone M is the home territory of Bay laurel, and hardy eucalyptus varieties grow tall. Choose "low heat" and (in the most moderate spots) "low chill" apples, pears, and curl resistant peaches.

Question: The safest way to get rid of garden pest!?
I KNOW THIS IS THE BOTANY FORUM AND NOT GARDENING. HOWEVER, MAYBE SOME PLANT PERSON CAN ADVISE ME (^_^)
I'm in the process of expanding my garden into a Total Garden.
I have already grown: apple tree, papaya trees, pineapple tree, cornrows, and various herbs and teas.
I'm looking to expand my garden and add more items, such as blueberries, watermelon, avocados, goji berries, etc.... random other stuff (it's a lot of land)
However, while lightly researching the items, I discovered they attract a lot of pest, such as, worms, maggots, and beetles, etc... and I want to (try) and stay away from the pesticides. So far I haven’t used any pesticides. But since, I’m going to expand, I don’t want my garden over ran with plant killing gross pest. I'm not an expert gardener, I just learn as I go along.
So are there any experts at gardening, or anyone skilled, know of anything less harmful than pesticides but still gets rid of the pest very well??
Answer: Pesticides can be a "quick fix" for weed and insect problems, but they are not necessary for a healthy lawn or garden. In most cases, pest damage is actually a sign of weak plants or poor soil. Pesticides can make a problem appear to go away, but it's often a temporary solution.
See the link below for some great ideas.
