As much as hearing the phrase rattled off might tap dance on your last nerve, good things really do come to those who wait. And that?s especially true for gardeners. During the first balmy weeks of summer the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden buzzed with activity as Mario Batali?s top chefs planted nostalgia left and right, each seedling and young tomato plant a piece of their culinary history?a vegetable that? inspired a recipe, or a memorable fruit from childhood. Their potential was nurtured and encouraged through months of careful tending, and now, with fall upon us, the Edible Garden?s harvest is ready to take the spotlight.
The fanfare begins this Sunday in Mario Batali?s Kitchen Gardens, where gourmands?young and old alike?can pick up a few new recipes while exploring the bounty planted by each of Mario?s chefs. Decorate a harvest bag, make your own chef?s hat, or sample your way through organic goodies. Whatever makes you and your kids happy! The Edible Garden Festival is set to continue into the afternoon with cooking demonstrations by NYBG staff, capped off by a master lesson from none other than Mario Batali himself. Afterwards, he?ll set to stunning tastebuds with his four-course, garden-to-table dinner event in the famed Garden Stone Mill.
While tickets for the garden-to-table dinner event and Saturday night?s Monet Evening are currently sold out, those interested are welcome to contact an NYBG representative to be put on a waiting list for any further releases. Head below for information. In the meantime, tickets are still available for the Edible Garden Festival, it?s the opening weekend of?Manolo Vald?s: Monumental Sculpture, and there are plenty of other activities to go around as we head into this packed weekend schedule. It?s the first one of the fall, so you might think to celebrate the autumnal equinox in a place where nature?s seasonal colors are a main event!
