Instructor Betsy Williams will present a class entitled Glorious Garlic and Her Bodacious, Upscale Cousins, the Flowering Alliums, on Sunday, September 15, from 1 – 3 at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive in Boylston. Learn how to grow and use garlic, queen of the kitchen, and her many strikingly beautiful cousins, the alliums. Fall is garlic planting time for New Englanders, as well as time to plant the bulbs of decorative alliums. Critter resistant and easy to grow, perennial alliums boast lovely, long lasting flowers that add interest and color to the garden from May to September and, in some cases, can be dried for winter use. Learn how to grow and harvest garlic, which alliums to choose for your garden and how to use both of them in seasonal flower arranging. Each student will make a decorative door spray of garlic, dried allium seed heads, golden yarrow and autumn leaves and take home garlic to plant. All materials provided.
