Mario Batali will return to the New York Botanical Garden to help the organization kick off its 2011 gardening season and launch his Edible Garden.

On April 12, 2011, Batali will be joined by Bronx schoolchildren to celebrate both the benefits of gardening and the 25th anniversary of the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden, a hands-on exhibit at the Botanical Garden that teaches gardening techniques.

Batali will prepare vegetable beds and plant seeds for his Edible Garden, an exhibit that runs for several months starting in August, featuring the celebrity chef’s favorite vegetables, cooking demonstrations from Batali and recipes using plants from the garden.

Batali made one of his New Year’s resolutions for 2011 to “master more vegetarian dishes” that can be cooked as a team.

A clip of Batali at the New York Botanical Garden from a previous year can be viewed below.

Russell Brand has said in the past his goal is to be a celibate vegan.

His recent marriage to Katy Perry may make that goal a little harder to attain. So he’s revamped his development plan from “no sex” to “less sex, more gardening.”

Hey, that could be the national gardening associations’ new slogan.

“I can’t believe I used to have sex 20 times a week, especially now I’m married,” Brand said. “But now I’m a bloody good gardener.”

Guess Brand has discovered there is more than one good use for a ho(e)….whoa, okay, back to the gardening discussion.

Rules of Engagement actress Megyn Price feeds her family of mixed eaters from the garden in her backyard.

Price told Celebrity Baby Scoop: “We grow whatever’s in season, and as much as our garden will hold! I love to preserve foods as well, so I never mind if we have a bumper crop of anything. I’ve gone so overboard with arugula, that we have a wild patch now, covering our hillside. We’ve got the happiest bunnies in Southern California!”

Price told CNN’s Eatocracy that her family is made of vegetarians and non-vegetarians, so she’s learned to cook accordingly, especially during the Holidays.

“In my house, we have half vegetarians and half meat eaters,” she said.

Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t worried about looking good for the nude scenes in “Love and Other Drugs” because he’s been eating a diet filled with plenty of fresh vegetables from his own garden.

“I don’t follow a special diet but I try and eat well, so I grow my own vegetables,” Gyllenhaal said.

The next best thing to growing your own is buying veggies from a neighbor or local community garden. San Francisco’s mayor and the city’s planning department has just introduced an ordinance to permit gardens in all areas of the city and to allow sale of veggies from that garden.
