Our second annual garlic talk is next week! Garlic is a great crop to grow if you aren't ready to give up gardening just yet or if you are looking for something to add to a community or school garden, as it is a biennial and will be ready for harvest in summer.

This is a FREE and hands-on event! Rain or shine.
