'GREET YOUR GARLIC'
HALF DAY WORKSHOP A brief overview of our garlic is included in a general FROGSHACK FARM WALK, but if you suspect you could be a garlic geek, a more in-depth workshop experience is for you. Enthusiasts keen to discover 'The Magic Bulb' may book some time with Carmen to learn about the history and mystery of 'nature's tonic', the many varieties available and tips on how to identify and grow your own garlic to store for fresh bulbs all year. Join Carmen in the paddock during the growing season or see our harvested array of cultivars. Ask everything you ever wanted to know about garlic, our methods and tips.
