Where did our vegetables come from and how did they get to look the way they do today? Do you know who first domesticated the tomato? The eggplant? The onion? Explore the origin stories of 15 common vegetables and 1 fruit -- where they grew first, what they probably looked like originally, and how they spread around the world. Led by Bonnie Power, who has been a Massachusetts Master Gardener since 2016 and a serious outdoor/indoor gardener most of her life. Curious and research-oriented by nature, she has many horticultural interests and areas of expertise. Bonnie holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Zoology, which informs her perspective on the management of garden insects. She also volunteers at Garden in the Woods, a Native Plant Trust botanical garden in Framingham, where she is a guide.
