Dig into the summer season!
Using the Edible Academy’s greenhouse, classroom building, and gardens, campers will investigate plant growth and learn all about vegetables. Campers will use the NYBG grounds as an outdoor classroom to investigate themes of art and ecology. Children will engage in hands-on gardening, learn about sustainability, and participate in culinary and crafting activities.
