Whole Foods and NYBG Present Nutritious and Delicious Summer Programs
Posted in Programs and Events on June 4 2015, by Lansing Moore
NYBG is pleased to continue its partnership with Whole Foods Market for another season of fresh, nutritious, and delicious family food activities. Through September, hundreds of local families and school children will visit the Whole Foods Market Family Kitchen in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden for daily hands-on cooking and tasting events hosted by NYBG Staff. Whole Foods Market will also host seasonal demonstrations and tastings by the Reflective Pool on the last Wednesday of June, July, August, and September from 1 to 3 p.m., coinciding with NYBG’s fan-favorite Greenmarket.
The Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden—and its groundbreaking programming—is at the heart of the Edible Academy and the future site of a new, state-of-the-art building that will serve as the hub for edible education at NYBG. Together, the Edible Academy and the Family Garden bring plenty of fun for adults and kids alike, with cooking demonstrations in the Whole Foods Market Family Garden Kitchen and daily, hands-on gardening activities. Bring the family to the Garden this summer for wholesome and yummy learning experience!
So why has Whole Foods not opened in The Bronx yet? Detroit – yes. Newark – yes. The Bronx – no???
