Edible Academy Family Garden Picnic

Children can dig into the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden — and its succulent harvests — in this special event at the New York Botanical Garden, which draws on the talents of the chef Carla Hall and the chefs working in Mario Batali’s restaurants. In addition to a hearty meal, activities for young visitors will include a garden bed scavenger hunt, cooking workshops, pickle making, basil planting and making corn husk dolls and seed sculptures, along with other crafts. The festivities will raise funds for the Edible Academy, a new learning center at the Family Garden.
