Growing Garlic

In this episode we learn from a “Garlic Guru” how to grow garlic, which is one of Northern Nevada’s major crops.  We also learn about a great program/event being offered in place of the “Reno Garlic Festival” which is a year-round monthly virtual class on how to grow this popular easy-to-grow vegetable along with added incentive giveaways to the first people to sign up for the classes.

We also hear from a local environmental educator more about her upcoming talk about “River-Friendly Landscaping” along with other great upcoming, in-person and virtual local events.
