Love & Carrots

1921 First St. NE, Washington, DC

What it is: A gardening service that transforms your backyard or rooftop into an edible landscape.

Why it's cool: The Love & Carrots team believes the local food movement is a critical catalyst in environmental activism, but most people are intimidated to get into gardening. Combining years of expertise in urban agriculture with a passion for fresh and local food, it helps clients design, install, and maintain organically grown vegetable gardens in their DC-area homes. Want tender lettuce greens in the cold heart of winter? Love & Carrots will show you how.
