ABOUT THE EDIBLE GARDEN:
Throughout the summer and into autumn, The Edible Garden celebrates growing and preparing great food. Set throughout the Botanical Garden's spectacular 250-acre landscape, The Edible Garden will feature numerous vegetable gardens and multiple displays, demonstrations from food and gardening experts, celebrity appearances during four festival weekends, and exciting programs that demonstrate the bounty, economy, and nutritional value of edible plants. Proceeds benefit the Children's Gardening program.

The New York Botanical Garden is a museum of plants located at Bronx River Parkway (Exit 7W) and Fordham Road. It is easy to reach by Metro-North Railroad or subway.
