A garlic filled day was spent at the garden on Saturday. As a group, we planted over 300 garlic bulbs for harvest next year. We enjoyed a garlic themed potluck and then Master Gardener, Selina Pope, lead us through a Growing Great Garlic workshop.
Thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to this event. We all may have left smelling like garlic, but it was worth it and delicious!
Thank you to everyone who came out for this very important date! There was a delicious potluck lunch, teas to sample from plants found in the garden with a tour and plant walk, and Mad Hatter hat making.
Thank you Anya for organizing the event and Selina for proving the garden tour.

Thank you to everyone who contributed dishes for the Corn Potluck on Saturday! A special thank you also goes to the Tonari Gumi Garden Group for providing the Daikon & Japanese Culture Workshop!
