Jungle Nights

A backyard is a rare luxury in New York. If you don't have your own, make use of the flourishing courtyard at Williamsburg gardening store Jungle, which hosts workshops on Thursday evenings. Bone up on summer grilling with Gwynnett St owner Carl McCoy, while sipping herb-infused Fidencio Mezcal cocktails (June 28; $65); create plant-infused spirits with Sother Teague of Amor y Amargo (July 5; $65); or check out urban composting techniques with Vandra Thorburn of vokashi.com (July 12; $35). While you learn, quaff complimentary summer wines selected by Vine Wine's Talitha Whidbee. E-mail time4everythingnyc@gmail.com to reserve a spot.—Sarah Theeboom
