Part of The Edible Garden, ‘Mario Batali’s Kitchen Gardens‘ in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden is an interactive space filled with beds of vegetables and herbs used in the restaurants of chef Mario Batali. The whole family will love exploring these beautiful gardens using an audio tour and Mario’s Menu Mystery game (you can pick it up in the Family Garden).

On Thursday, July 26 join two chefs from Mario Batali’s restaurants, Cruz Goler of Lupa Osteria Romana and Frank Langello of Babbo Ristorante, for the second of four Family Dinners with Mario Batali’s Chefs in the Family Garden.
