Chinese Kitchen Gardens

Asian vegetables look fun to grow and are fascinating to browse at specialty supermarkets.  But can we successfully grow Asian greens in our zone? What part of the bittermelon do you actually use? Is tough lemongrass edible?  And how do you manage beans that are a yard long?!  Gardener, home cook, and author Wendy Kiang-Spray will show participants the tastiest and most interesting vegetables that we can grow or purchase and explain how to use them in our kitchens.

 

Speaker Bio: Wendy is a passionate speaker and writer whose work has appeared in national and local publications. Wendy’s book, The Chinese Kitchen Garden, is an amalgamation of all her loves: family, cultural stories, gardening, heritage vegetables, and cooking.  In her spare time, she tends her garden here in zone 7a, Maryland.

​

Location: American Legion Post 130, 400 N Oak St, Falls Church VA 22046 and on Zoom. Link is in The Seedling.

 

Please Note:  In lieu of slides, Wendy’s presentation will be a demonstration.  We will be trying to video record with a web camera similar to what is used on television kitchen shows.  For those joining remotely, thank you kindly for your patience. The meeting will be recorded and posted on YouTube for garden club members only.
