Earlier this year, the Friends of Garden Kitchen Lab & Oxfam America decided they wanted to share the philosophy and activities of the Garden Kitchen Lab program with the broader community, so we set about to create a summer festival. 

The Garden Kitchen Lab is backyard-to-table educational/blogging program that teaches children to create, develop and sustain food producing gardens with a culinary and technology component. 

To be held outside NYC Parks St. John’s Center on Saturday, June 25th from 11am to 4pm, the event will showcase organizations who come together to bring greater awareness to the importance of locally grown food, appreciation of healthy cuisine, as well as encourage children to explore technology, sustainability and environmental issues.
