Exhibition in DC and Mario Batali's vegetable garden are opening soon!

     I don't know about you, but I always am looking for something new to see or do. That's why I am so happy when I cans hare with you upcoming summer events. They are of course, connected to food and people.

     The summer is bringing with it another option of outdoor exploration at the NYC Botanical

Gardens. Chef Mario Batali is celebrating today beginning of gardening season with students from the Bronx.Together, they are going to plant his favorite vegetables. I wonder, will Basil be one of them...?

Aug. 27 to September 25 you will be able to visit the gardens and see for yourself.
