Chef-Maintained Gardens in Arlington, McLean, and Falls Church - Need Help For Article

[Jessica Strelitz]

I am working on a story on restaurant gardens in Arlington, McLean and Falls Church, and have recently discovered that one of the places I was going to include in the profile no longer maintains their rooftop garden -- sadly, Eventide droppped the program with their new chef.

Does anyone know of any restaurant that has an onsite garden, herbs, veg, etc - or any sort of on-site farm to table program in Arlington, McLean or Falls Church. I am already have connected with 2941, Harth and Main Event Caterers.

Many thanks!

Jess, Peking Gourmet Inn grows their own ... I think it's ... garlic sprouts. I was going to say Härth, but you've already got that included. When is your deadline? I'll try and help you out.

Cheers,

Rocks

Doesn't Chez Francois have a garden where they row some of their stuff?

Cathal Armstrong maintains a garden for Restaurant Eve. I asked him what he grew in it:

"Sage, thyme, rosemary, horseradish, tomatoes, onions, bay leaf, sorrel, apples, pears, peaches. Should I go on?"

Hmm, I can't remember for sure, but I thought Bastille in Alexandria had a small garden by their restaurant?  Am I crazy?  

[Jessica Strelitz]

Great  suggestions! Unfortunately, Great Falls is not in the distribution area -- nor is Alexandria -- only Falls Church, Arlington and McLean.

So it really is that specific - okay. We'll keep that in mind. Maybe ask Seb at Amoo's Kabob?

Will do, Don. And to confirm, LACF does have an on-site garden for the restaurant -- wish I could include them!  Thanks again for everyone's help.
