Picnic Under the Sky at Waterlily Concerts

Posted in Exhibitions, The Edible Garden on August 5 2010, by Plant Talk

Spend a Summer Evening with Music, Wine, Cheese, and More

David Sanchez is General Manager of Abigail Kirsch Catering Relationships at The New York Botanical Garden.

I always enjoy a great concert in the summer, especially in one of New York City’s fabulous outdoor spaces. There is something just so civilized about hearing great music in exceptional garden surroundings.

I usually find, however, that I need to bring something to eat and to drink. Well, not at The New York Botanical Garden. We have thought of everything.

During the Waterlily Concert Series at the Garden, which begins this evening and continues on August 12 and 19, Abigail Kirsch is ready to cater to your needs. We are featuring picnic baskets with beer or wine, cheese, crudités, and fruit—a perfect accompaniment to a wonderful summer evening. Other refreshments will be available as well: sandwiches, a variety of snacks, non-alcoholic beverages, and cookies and desserts.

Before each performance, visitors can view The Edible Garden with its Celebrity Chef Kitchen Gardens, Martha Stewart Culinary Herb Garden, and more, and then hear commentary about the importance of food choices in our lives during Food for Thought presentations.

Although seating is provided rain or shine under the tent at the Conservatory Kitchen stage where the lectures and music will be held, I encourage you to bring a blanket to enhance your experience. Stretch out under the sky while enjoying sumptuous fare and listening to fabulous music. There’s no better way to beat the summer heat!
