Please join us to harvest garlic scapes & learn about growing garlic!

The garlic scape is the flowering stem that grows from the bulb in the spring.  It is tall and green with a corkscrew end.  We remove this stem to focus all the growing energy on the bulb itself.  These stems, when picked early, are a tender treat to garlic lovers.  They posess a mild garlic flavor and a texture much like green onions.

We are looking for volunteers to spend an hour or two in our garlic field to help pick the scapes.  Our field is 44,000 bulbs strong, so there is plenty of work to do!  Volunteers are welcome during regular business hours - Wednesday - Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Join us for Green Building 101 on June 18 at 7 p.m. at Hallwalls at 341 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, for a free session with the best, most effective tips to green your building.

Western New York Sustainable Energy Association and GreenHomeNYC curate the top tips for greening buildings by way of green materials, waste prevention and reduction, and energy efficiency.  Take a tour around what the experts in the field have to say to design, construct, maintain and enjoy an energy efficiency building with healthy indoor environmental quality.

Speakers include Shai Lauros, GreenHomeNYC, Fred Fellendorf and Bernice Radle, Buffalo Energy.
