Children and adults alike are invited to get their hands dirty at the New York Botanical Garden’s newly opened Edible Academy, a major expansion of its garden-based, hands-on education program.
The three-acre indoor-outdoor campus, designed by architecture firm Cooper Robertson, is built around the existing Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden. It includes a classroom building with a demonstration kitchen and technology lab; a teaching greenhouse; two outdoor pavilions for programs; a terraced amphitheater; and spacious gardens where visitors can learn about, grow, and harvest their own produce.
