Garlic, the Stinking Rose: Origins, Lore, and Biology at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene Counties: Extension Education Center – Hudson, NY
Don’t miss this upcoming event in Hudson, NY. Happening on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Columbia and Greene Counties: Extension Education Center. Doors open at 10:00 AM.
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.
