The Edible Garden

on July 17, 2010 – 7:30 am

The Edible Garden, a festival about growing and preparing good food, returns to the New York Botanical Garden. Festival weekends during The Edible Garden will offer visitors the chance to discover the origins of food and learn about the plants and plant parts that they eat every day. Gardening experts will once again bring their ideas to The New York Botanical Garden’s historic Nancy Bryan Luce Herb Garden, exhibiting a rich selection of herbs from common chives to savory curry plants and aromatic artemisia. In the Home Gardening Center, visitors can orient themselves to a broad variety of edible plants and learn how easy it is to grow their own food gardens through a number of display gardens including Seed Savers Heirloom Vegetable Garden, one of New York’s best heirloom vegetable gardens, and Sensory Garden, with touchable scented herbs.
