Garlic, the Stinking Rose: Origins, Lore, and Biology

  • Saturday, September 6, 2025, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Domesticated for about 5,000 years, garlic is now a cooking staple that grows well in the Hudson Valley. This class will explore its origins, history, and life cycle. Breeders all over the world have developed hundreds of varieties. As a part of this program we’ll taste test four, grown in our very own demonstration gardens in Hudson.
