Family Art Project: ‘Friendly Vegetables and Microbes’

Vegetables are as cool to examine as they are to eat. That’s the message behind this program at Wave Hill, the public garden in the Bronx. Working with the visiting sculptor S.E. Nash, children will visit edible plants on the grounds, then use a microscope to look at the interior structures of fresh and fermented vegetables. The investigation ends with using these inspirations to make a mixed-media collage with burlap, cardboard and recycled materials.
