It&#8217;s spring! Finally, officially, it&#8217;s time to dig into the ground and enjoy the feeling of dirt under your fingernails. At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/gardens\/family-garden\/\">Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden<\/a> this simple joy is available to everyone, including our littlest visitors.<\/p>\n<p>I was over there just this afternoon and little kids were grabbing shovels and being handed seeds and seedlings to push into the now warm earth. Of course, this magic doesn&#8217;t happen overnight, so everyone who drops in is invited back in a few weeks&#8217; time to harvest and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Manager of the Family Garden, Toby Adams, gives you all the details on this wonderful drop-in program for families.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IuMFqPp9qj8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/plan_your_visit\/\">plan your visit<\/a> and bring the whole family!
