Late Winter and Spring Virtual Garden Happenings
Are you trashing the treasures in your garden? Join Food Link's Shoba Reginald and Ivan Basch along with Ashley Rooney for an informative discussion. Forty percent of food produced in the U.S. is wasted. Learn about plant parts that are often wasted, yet make delicious dishes so you can get a lot more out of your garden.
Take a look at this slide show of our members' beautiful Dahlias!
