Easiest thing is to buy them, as growing from a seed will take about 3-4 years.
I bought 3 blueberry bushes, each planted about 3 metres from each other, to allow growth and for bees to pollinate them. They like acidic soil, so I put some pine needles around the base when I planted them.
You may have to fight with birds to get a good crop, but they do grow and taste fine if grown in the UK - plant them in a sunny position.

Did you mean the bushes that actual blueberries come from, or the Japanese Blueberry Tree (Elaeocarpus decipiens)?
