Fresh off the puckered and pungent ?Pickle Me!? events that took place in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden over the last few weeks, we join Assistant Manager Annie Novak to catch up with our long-time adventure in multinational growing, the Global Gardens! Because native is all well and good, but when it comes down to exploring edibles, our Family Garden keeps an open mind to unique fruits and vegetables from around the world. And what better place to celebrate multinationalism than in the Bronx, one of?if not the?most diverse communities in the United States?
This week?s highlights come to us from Shirley, caretaker of the Chinese garden, and Mr. Mota, who keeps the Caribbean garden thriving. From bitter melon to plantains, they?ve cultivated a lengthy menu of traditional fruits and vegetables to represent their national cuisines. And it?s a welcome catch-up course, just in time for this weekend?s Summer Harvest Celebration! Make sure the kids are tagging along for this one; they?ll have the chance to meet some of our knowledgeable Global Gardeners, play a few garden games, make crafts, learn an Irish jig, and even sample garden-grown vegetables for themselves.
The Global Gardens Summer Harvest Celebration Weekend runs on Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m., with exclusive cooking demonstrations taking place on both days at 2 and 4 p.m. If only to educate your little ones? palates, don?t miss out!
