SEED LIBRARY PROGRAM
 
Tomato & Pepper Tasting at The Glen Cove Library
Saturday, August 26, 11am - 12:30pm 
 
A rose is a rose and all that jazz, but the tomato is as varied as a snowflake in its flavor profile, color, shape and size.  If you’ve been laboring under the false impression that that every tomato is the same, think again!  In celebration of the season’s most anticipated garden treat, the Seed Library at Glen Cove Public Library is hosting a tasting of tomatoes of every type: Heirloom, Hybrid, Cherry and Plum.  
    Learn why those commercially-grown, seemingly picture-perfect orbs found in grocery stores pale in comparison to the humble and delicious ‘garden variety’ tomato. We will also be sampling an assortment of peppers, and doing a quick demonstration on how to save seeds from both. 
Registration encouraged!
