Basic Ginger & Turmeric Growing

Growing the same crops again this year?

Alongside the carrots, kale or beloved tomato varieties that you’re used too, why not try something new—like ginger or turmeric? Both of these plants can be great additions to your garden, kitchen and medicine cabinet.

In this class, you’ll learn the basics of the current practices in planting and growing these rhizomes for personal use both in containers and in the ground. We’ll also explore a brief overview of the historic cultivation of ginger and turmeric and harvesting techniques.
