Fundamentals of Planting and Growing Garlic
Saturday, May 11, 2024 · 10 am–noon
Unionville, Virginia
Garlic is a wonderful crop. It’s easy to grow with almost no pest problems. It can be grown either in the ground or in a raised bed. October is the most popular month to plant garlic, but depending on where you live, you could plant sooner or later. Late September and October are the best times to plant garlic in the northern Piedmont. It should be done at least two weeks before the first frost, and must be done before the ground freezes. This workshop will teach you the proper way to grow and care for garlic during the season.
Space is limited to 20 participants.
