This workshop with Ravi Prasad will provide guidance on growing the popular vegetables and culinary herbs native to the Indian subcontinent in the climate and soil of New Jersey
There's nothing better than the freshness and flavor of homegrown vegetables, fruits, and herbs. But for those trying to grow the plants essential to authentic Indian home cooking, the climate of the Mid-Atlantic region can present a challenge.
Ravi Prasad has been a passionate gardener for over 50 years. He, like many other new immigrants of the 1970's, was relegated to growing domestic varieties. As a young man he educated himself thoroughly in the world of botany, from nomenclature to technique and much more. In September of 2001, Seeds of India was born when Ravi started a mail order business in the basement of his home. While the initial catalog was barely 20 items, his focus was the same that it is now. He was focused on sourcing high quality seeds while cultivating and teaching a community of gardeners. This focus was founded deeply on a reverence for nature and a firm belief in its connection to wellness.
