Garlic is a member of the lily family and a close cousin to the onion.Garlic’s Latin name is ‘Allium sativum’.The garlic bulb has flat leaves, pinkish flower heads and roots that can penetrate two feet into the soil.
North Plains, Oregon celebrates garlic with their Summerfest & Garlic Outwest! event held in August. Chehalis, Washington celebrates garlic with their Garlic Fest & Craft Show and the people of Gilroy, California have celebrated garlic for 35 years! Their Gilroy Garlic Festival includes three days of summer fun; a garlic bowl, free garlic ice cream, a craft show and cook-off. They claim to have used 10 tons of beef, 4 tons pasta, 2 tons scampi, 2 tons calamari, 2 tons fresh garlic in their cooking over the years and they have raised 9.7 million dollars for local charities. Makes me want to visit Gilroy in July!
