About this Event
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.
This class will involve a garlic tasting. If you have an allium allergy, we recommend that you do not take part in the tasting.
