Kitchen Botany at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Brooklyn Botanic Garden Presents:
Let’s explore the plants we eat! Watch videos created by BBG teen apprentices that investigate plants that we eat. From there you will help to answer the question of “what do plants need to grow?” and even work on some kitchen pantry plantings at home. Gather a few materials and start your own mini garden with the items that you can find right in your kitchen.
Suggested Materials:
- Egg carton
- soil
- seeds (from the kitchen pantry such as dried beans, sunflower seeds, etc.)
- plant food scraps, like carrot tops, lettuce stem, scallion bottom, etc)
- a jar of water
Join the Brooklyn Cultural Adventures Program this summer with daily virtual programs and weekly in-person events.
We're exploring artists, creators, and nature's builders this summer with our theme Building Back Better. Join us as we explore science, nature, culture, and art with our partners each weekday at 9:30 am. Practice some selfcare to help you grow, and get live, hands-on experiences to explore how inspiration for rebuilding can be found all around us. Check the "BCAP at Home" tag for more events!
