Find out how we can create oases where there were once food deserts. This is a panel discussion with Josh Viertel, President, Slow Food and Liz Falk, Director and co-Founder, Washington DC based Common Good City Farm, among others. * * * Information above gleaned from web site of The DC Farm to School Network.

dcs Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Arlington has a fairly well developed Community Garden Program. One of the more visible gardens line Four Mile Run Drive. There are a surprising number of plots and all appear well utilized during the growing season. Between what we receive in our weekly CSA delivery from a local farm, and what we grow in our backyard, we buy hardly any supermarket vegetables between June and October.
