Each year the Duluth Community Garden Program chooses a Vegetable of the Year. Programming is brought into area schools, and the vegetable is highlighted at various events.
This year's vegetable: Radish! "Radishes have such a short-days to maturity... from seed to eating the radish is only like 30 days," says Haley Diem from the Duluth Community Garden Program. This short maturation period makes youth programming easier to fit into the school year.
Follow all of the upcoming events this year by checking out the Duluth Community Garden Program's Facebook page.
You can hear Community Connection every Tuesday and Thursday at 8am on Northland Morning.
