El ajo es originario de Asia Central y es uno de los cultivos más antiguos que se conocen. Se ha utilizado como alimento y medicina durante más de 7,000 años y está registrado en algunos de los primeros escritos de los antiguos egipcios, griegos, romanos, chinos e indios. Es una planta muy versátil y se puede cultivar en una variedad de condiciones climáticas y de suelo a partir de sus dientes, para luego cosecharlos, secarlos y almacenarlos para su uso o plantación posterior.

Garlic originated in Central Asia and is one of the oldest known crops. It has been used for food and medicine for more than 7,000 years and is recorded in some of the earliest writings of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese and Indians. It is a very versatile plant and can be grown in a range of climate and soil conditions from its cloves and then harvested, dried and stored for later use or planting.

Visitors to Duke Gardens speak many different languages. English and Spanish are two of the most common primary languages in our area today.

Reading a sign is generally an easier way to get information in the garden than scanning a QR code to go to a website for a translation, as you might have noticed! When our signs can only be printed in one language due to size constraints, we vary which language is on the sign and which is on the website so that both English and Spanish speakers have the opportunity to read signs in person.
