- **Event Description**: The Jacob Edwards Library is pleased to present a workshop on Growing and Storing Onions with Christie Higginbottom.
 
Understanding the life cycle and day-length sensitivity of onions is the key to knowing how best to grow, harvest and store them. This workshop will include instructions for starting onion seeds indoors under lights, and growing onions from sets. Garden culture will be explained, as well as how to know when onions are mature to harvest for long term storage. Christie will teach techniques for “curing” bulbs and braiding onion “ropes” along with the best conditions for long term storage. Participants will also learn how they can save seeds of favorite heirloom onion varieties.

For twenty years Christie Higginbottom supervised the historic horticulture program at Old Sturbridge Village, researching, planning and planting the re-created kitchen and flower gardens at the museum’s historic households and the Paul Rogers Herb Garden exhibit. Now retired from full-time work, Christie continues to work in costume part-time in the herb garden, and she presents garden programs for the Village. She also lectures and consults on historic gardens, heirloom plants and herb use at museums, garden clubs, historical societies, and libraries. She has taught home gardening classes for the Northeast Organic Farmers Association, Bay Path Adult Evening School, and the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill.
