Sprouting out of the ground in late spring, garlic scapes are thin, curly, green stems that resemble grass or wild onions. Growers cut them off to allow more of the plant’s resources to stay focused within the bulb. Young ones are tender and delicious, generally having a milder taste than the cloves, which are similar to shallots or chives. They can be diced up finely and added to various dishes for extra flavor or sautéed in olive oil and enjoyed on their own. Curling garli...c scape tendrils often include a bulge in the middle. This is the unopened flower of the plant. It is also edible, though not as tender as the rest of the stem. Some people cut it off and discard it, while others simply eat it. Join Lisa Taranto, Menla's Head Horticulturist June 18 - 20 for the third weekend in a series of ecological offerings at Menla. It is now late spring, and the dynamic and complex relationships in the gardens and forests are in full swing. Through direct engagement of our physical selves, we will contribute to the ongoing restorative ecology work and gardens at Menla. Through the direct engagement of our intellectual selves, we will deepen our understanding of the science of ecology. And through the direct engagement with our spiritual selves, we will deepen our sense of sacred connectedness and community with all living things.
