Free! – Garlic Planting Workshop

Garlic Planting Workshop

The Garlic Project, a collaboration between the Plantations Environmental Education Program for Sustainability (PEEPS) and the Durland Alternatives Library, presents a hands-on garlic planting workshop at the Plantations’ Pounder Vegetable Garden  on Saturday, November 8th from 1:00-3:00pm . All participants will be given garlic seed to take home and plant as well as the opportunity to learn more about garlic culture and uses.

Garlic grows exceptionally well in the Finger Lakes region. It can be grown without pesticides, and is very productive in a small space. It stores easily without an external energy source and has a long shelf life. Save seed and save money by replanting garlic every year, and enjoy your homegrown garlic year round.

The Garlic Project connects people to the food they eat through education, empowerment, and building community. Through the Garlic project we intend to add new planting sites throughout the community each year and get more people involved.

The program is free and open to all ages. The Pounder Vegetable Garden is located across the road from the Nevin Welcome Center. Pre-registration is required.
