FreeSkool: Get Your Garlic On!
2026-06-14 14:00 - 18:00 | HomeGrown HideAways, 500 Floyd Branch Road, Berea, KY, 40403, United States
The garlic patch is ready to harvest. Now what?
If you’re new to growing garlic or just garlic-curious, this class will walk you through harvesting, cleaning, trimming, curing set-up, and processing hardneck cloves into garlic powder. Each participant will get to leave with their own jar of HomeGrown Garlic Powder. You’ll never want store-bought again!
This class is probably best suited for ages 12 and up, but guardians are welcome to tag-team between the garden and the playground as long as there is someone watching the kids at all times. Harvesting will take place out in the sun so we recommend hats, water, sunscreen, and gloves.
Once the garlic is harvested, we’ll move into the shade of the Pavilion to work on trimming and curing (kitchen or garden shears are helpful to bring as we may not have enough for everyone). Once we get a decent amount of garlic processed, we’ll show you how we go from clove to powder for the final step.
IMPORTANT: This class is extremely weather and plant dependent. There’s a possibility that the garlic won’t be ready or the ground may be too wet (or too dry) to harvest so please be sure Eventbrite emails aren’t landing in your spam folder in case we need to cancel or reschedule. We’ll also update the facebook event on the HomeGrown HideAways page.
Class is FREE, but limited to 20 participants so please register (no need to register children who are just here for the playground). If you have registered and can no longer attend, PLEASE CANCEL your registration at least 48 hours before class so that someone else may take your place. NO PETS.
This class is being co-led by Nathan & Jessa Turner, the Co-Conspirators behind HomeGrown HideAways. After 10 years of trial and error, failure and success, we think we’ve finally figured out this one thing and hope to save new folks some of the heartache and headache of learning from scratch.
(This class may or may not take the full 4 hours, but we’d rather have too much time than not enough).

Family Activity: Micro Exploration
2026-06-14 14:00 | The Berea Pinnacles, 2047 Big Hill Rd., Berea, 40403, United States

Geared towards elementary ages but all welcome.
