Watch for Upcoming Details
We're Returning to the Gardens! Wednesday, March 21
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Homestead Gardens 743 West Central Avenue, Davidsonville
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 We all had a wonderful, interactive evening last Wednesday at the Annapolis Grill as we provided a Green Preview of Annapolis Restaurant Week ... now through Sunday. Just as we were about to sing the Grill's praises for a terrific time and great service, appetizers and drinks ... we learn the sad news that their doors have closed. We were hoping to stir up more business and attention to their sincere hospitality efforts to go Green.
Annapolis Restaurant Week is when we celebrate the great local restaurants along with terrific fixed price lunches and dinners (and some breakfasts) to entice us to eat out. There are 40 restaurants participating in Annapolis Restaurant Week. Of those, nine are City of Annapolis Certified Environmental Stewards. We encourage you to patronize them... and let them know that you're there because of their commitment to sustainability.  You can see which are the Stewards on the Restaurant Week website. Just look for the symbol at the right.  Also joining us was the Buy Fresh Buy Local program that promotes healthy local eating at home and out and Maryland Green Travel, a voluntary, self-certification program that recognizes tourism businesses committed to improving their operations in order to reduce their environmental impact. Click on the links to learn more about each.
