Growing Ginger & Turmeric in the Midwest

If you’re like Bernadett, you spend countless hours dreaming, scheming over seed catalogs during the winter, and you always have to find that one new plant you’ve never grown before. You already grow the tastiest tomatoes, the crunchiest carrots, or the most robust greens, but this year you want something really different. How about some tropicals? The answer to the question that might be forming in your head upon reading the previous sentence: Yes, you can! In this ONLINE workshop, learn how to grow beautiful, young ginger and turmeric right in your garden -- or in pots on your patio. We will also talk about why you’d even want to grow them beside just wanting to be the coolest cat in your gardening club. Hint: Both these plants are a tasty addition not only to your kitchen, but to your medicine cabinet as well. At the end of class, you’ll walk away with lots of valuable information regarding these plants and with recipes to help you include them in your diet.
