Sunday, September 23rd Batali, a friend of the New York Botanical Garden was at the Garden's conservatory to demonstrate the ease of cooking from garden to table, fresh, seasonal family dishes from the mound of recipes he keeps handy, all plying his local and fresh kitchen garden vegetables and herbs. Proceeds from the demonstration and sold out dinner afterward went to support the Botanical Garden's essential Children's Education programs.
The Children's Gardening Program is a hands-on program offered in spring, summer and fall, allowing kids ages 3-12 to plant, tend, and harvest vegetables. The program also offers the kids lessons on gardening topics from apples to worms, making sure urban kids have the opportunity to understand how gardens fruits and vegetables are integral to good nutrition and healthy eating.
