Passports and pickles

Celebrate summer around the world at the New York Botanical Garden this month, when the Bronx treasure holds its Global Gardens Summer Harvest Celebration.

On Aug. 20 and 21, you and your child can explore the garden’s five Global Gardens: China, Korea, Ireland, Italy and the Caribbean. Earn stamps in your passport as you explore each one, meet the Global Gardeners, and sample a pickle recipe from each country, prepared with plants grown in the garden plots.

Bon voyage!
