The DIGS garden will be raffling three garlic braids this year, all of which will be drawn at the Island Christmas craft sale at Beacon House Dec. 3. Tickets for the raffle will go on sale shortly.
Pricing same as last year — $2 a ticket or three tickets for $5. Proceeds go toward our Community Garden.
The braids are made from the garden’s finest organic European garlic, each containing 16 bulbs and when hung up at home, should last well into next spring. They make fine Christmas gifts for the gourmand in your life.
Also: If you ever wondered how the community garden’s braids are made, there will be a short, 15-minute, how-to demo at the garden next Saturday morning (Sept. 10) about 10:30 a.m. All are welcome.

ps. Jen adds: We even have an instructional video of Mike and Andria teaching this skill in 2009 on two computer thumbdrives for those who cannot join us at the demo. Just ask! Mike and Andria's Garlic Braids use a different technique than those shown on youtube and are truly gorgeous to behold.
