Learn how to cultivate fresh, pungent onion crops in your own garden with our "Growing Flavorful Onions & Alliums" class.

This comprehensive session covers all the savory basics - onions, leeks, shallots, green onions and chives. Our Master Gardener instructor provides tips specifically for growing these aromatic vegetables in our local mild climate. You'll learn variety selection, soil preparation and spacing techniques, integrated pest management strategies, and harvesting and curing methods for longest storage. We’ll also cover some cooking techniques and recipes.
