A GINGERBREAD ADVENTURE AT THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN

In the hands-on Gingerbread Adventures program at The New York Botanical Garden, children can learn about the different plant parts used in creating the favorite holiday snack, gingerbread. Step into Gingerbread Town, a fun and whimsical backdrop where gingerbread people are hard at work and play, delivering mail, making music, and generally amusing visitors. Pop inside the larger-than-life model of a Gingerbread House decorated with frosting and festooned with candy and treats.

 

Smell, touch, and taste the spices and other plant parts that make up a classic gingerbread recipe. Discover where cinnamon and ginger come from. Grind spices, plant wheat seeds to take home, eat gingersnap cookies, and record it all in a festively decorated field notebook.
