Special Garden Project

The Special GardeHakurei Turnipn Project is a way to offer 4-H members the chance to grow unusual and fun projects in their gardens. The 2021 Special Garden Project is focused on the tasty Hakurei Turnip. These are not your grandmother’s turnips. Hakurei is a white salad turnip that is smooth, round and at its best when harvested under 2”. The roots can be eaten raw or cooked and the tops can also be cooked.

This project is open to all youth of 4-H age and it will give them the opportunity to learn about growing, harvesting, and exhibiting this tasty turnip.   The estimated cost to participate is $0.50 per packet.  Please contact the office, 308-236-1235, if you would like to sign up by February 1, 2021.
