Description
Dreaming of a treasure trove of chunky heads of garlic but don't know how to choose varieties for planting? Maybe you've tried growing garlic but your harvest was disappointing or the 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, differing flavor profiles and more.
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 locally-grown seed garlic may be available for purchase. Details on varieties and pricing will be available during class.
