CHILDREN'S EDIBLE GARDEN
How do you Spell Summer? Y-U-M-M-Y! Be sure to visit the children's Teaching Garden with its extensive organic vegetable garden planted and tended by kids- including the demonstration Pizza Garden.

GUIDED TOURS
Free guided tours will take place Tuesdays at 10 a.m. and Wednesdays at 7 p.m. starting from shopTBG. Booked tour packages for bus groups have been designed for full day and half day tours.

ITALIAN KITCHEN GARDEN
The 2010 Kitchen Garden draws inspiration from the beautiful and culturally rich country of Italy.

TASTE OF THE GARDEN : CULINARY SERIES
On four Thursdays throughout the summer participate in our local culinary series, which includes a guided stroll through the gardens and dining "en plein air" with a la Carte Kitchen Chef Simon Kattar and special guests.

URBAN VEGETABLE GARDENING
This NEW series will take you through all the stages of successful and sustainable gardening - from planning your garden to harvesting and preparing for the next growing season.

EDIBLE CONTAINERS
A series of Edible Herb Containers in the Demo Courtyard to inspire urban newbie gardeners. PLUS…
The Trial Garden will be filled with Edibles and there will be other "Edible Jewels" throughout the property.
