. In 2020 we started the CBN YouTube channel to broadcast the virtual Winter Vegetable Sagra. As we enter the winter vegetable season once again I encourage you to check out the recorded presentions. Don’t miss the fabulously interesting GARLIC WEEK recordings to learn more about the science and lore of this beloved Allium originally from Central Asia. The sessions include garlic experts: 🧄 Phil Simon of USDA-ARS discussing history and his garlic collecting trips in "Garlic in History, and History in Garlic: Diversity & Domestication” 🧄 Avram Drucker of Garlicana sharing his personal story and journey of becoming a garlic breeder; different garlic types; and his breeding program. 🧄 Linda McLean of WSU Colville Reservation Extension presenting on the Inchelium Red Garlic project which connects youth with knowledgeable elders to learn about traditional cultural foods and harvesting & preparations practices. 🧄 Barbara Hellier of USDA-ARS discussing genetic diversity and her role as curator of the National Plant Germplasm System’s Allium Collection. 🧄 Irwin Goldman of University of Wisconsin presenting the many medicinal properties of garlic in "Garlic is Better than Ten Mothers: An Exploration of Health Benefits" 🧄 @marydelorenzowoods , folk herbalist, presenting on the folklore and mysticism of garlic. 🧄 Images: 1) ‘Aglio’ painting by Renato Guttuso 2) Avram Drucker of @garlicanafarm breeding true seed garlic 🧄 #flavorbeginswithseed #wintervegetablesagra
