Beyond Bok Choy:
Growing and Preparing Asian Vegetables
Do you have experience with growing carrots and lettuce? Mastered the weeknight stir-fry? Attend this talk to learn how to grow and enjoy a wide variety of Asian vegetables right here in the Mid-Atlantic. During this session, learn about different vegetables that grow well in our zone such as chrysanthemum greens, luffa gourds, bitter melon, and many more, along with growing tips for success. Gardener and home cook Wendy Kiang-Spray will explain how to use these vegetables traditionally and in your own recipes. She will also demonstrate how to prepare some of the trickier vegetables so participants can grow and cook a wider variety of vegetables with confidence.
Wendy Kiang-Spray is a speaker and freelance writer whose articles about gardening and food have appeared in local and national publications. She loves to write about growing and cooking the vegetables of other countries. By day, she is a high school counselor and in her free time, she volunteers as a DC Master Gardener and blogs about family and garden at www.greenishthumb.net. She is also working on her first book about growing and cooking Chinese vegetables.
