Mission Garden grows hundreds of traditional local crops. Tasting History is a new opportunity to learn about their origins, how they became part of our local agricultural and culinary traditions, how to grow them at home, and more. Docents will demonstrate and share tastings, written materials and recipes. 

In January we feature the many culinary herbs grown in the Spanish Colonial, Mexican, and Chinese gardens. These are some of the healthiest and easy to grow of the winter crops. Herbs will include lemongrass, cilantro, artemisia, marjoram, and i'itoi’s onion. Many of these culinary herbs are healthy eating too, and even are considered to have medicinal properties. Come celebrate Mission Garden’s herbs with us!

Please reach out to Kendall Kroesen, Mission Garden Outreach Coordinator at kendall@missiongarden.org for additional information.
