2023 Planting, Growing, and Tasting Great Garlic

Dreaming of blue-ribbon sized garlic heads but don't know how to choose the best varieties for planting? Maybe you've tried planting garlic, but your bulbs didn't last well in storage? Join us as we get our hands dirty planting a bed of garlic cloves in the teaching garden. We'll discuss different types of garlic (hardneck vs. softneck), soil preparation, irrigation, fertilization, scape harvesting, and more.

When our beds are planted, we'll wash up and move inside into our Education Cottage to sample different varieties of raw and roasted garlic and other garlic-based recipe delights!

Each student will get to take home one medium to large head (or an equivalent number of cloves) of locally-adapted seed garlic for planting.  After class has concluded, a limited amount of additional seed garlic will be available for purchase.
