The garden was designed by Rosalind Creasy in '87. Since we can't grow a lot of things in volume, we have lots of herbs and edible flowers that the kitchen staff loves to use. <br />We still grow veggies, and sometimes the staff uses that for their family meal, which is great too.<br />My dream is to someday have an informal gathering of restaurant gardeners and share our experiences , and build community in that specialty.<br />I can dream can't I ?<br />Cheers<br />Patriciaurban artichokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503868825658043138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278949912985261683.post-63229564040115187152012-11-13T12:47:44.630-08:002012-11-13T12:47:44.630-08:00Patricia, thanks for your comment and for your loy...Patricia, thanks for your comment and for your loyal patronage of the restaurant! As for visiting our farm, we work the garden beds and the Orchard at Imagery Estate Winery in Glen Ellen, right off Highway 12, which is open to the public. You can see the area easily when you enter. Please remember, we are in transition right now, so not much growing, as we prepare for the rains and winter. Great to hear what you are doing and I will check out your blog for sure. Thanks again for your support.ASAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256960911261125607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278949912985261683.post-26391225043634829632012-11-12T09:35:03.677-08:002012-11-12T09:35:03.677-08:00wow- so cool that girl and the fig is into "f...wow- so cool that girl and the fig is into "farm to table"-seems natural and logical!<br /> My husband and I have been dedicated fans of your restaurants since the '90's, and will be there this weekend :)<br /><br />I'm the assistant gardener at the Chez TJ kitchen potager in Mountain View on the SF Peninsula.
