Sophisticated yet casual Ecco in Midtown has always been ahead of therestaurant industry's conservation efforts. Georgia's first dumpster-freerestaurant was also the state's first to receive Green Foodservice Alliance (GFA) certification.The Fifth Group Restaurant continues to grow insustainability and environmental consciousness by adding eight new cedar bedswith "cold frame" structures to its rooftop garden, all of which arecovered with Agribon protective material. Farmer D Organics custom-built the beds and alsoinstalled a new irrigation system with a 250-gallon food-grade tote capable ofcontaining 195 more gallons than the previous rain barrel. All of the waterfilling the tote is collected from air conditioning condensation and pumpedthrough drip irrigation into the beds. City water and a timer also kick in whenneeded for optimal moisture. When dining at Ecco be sure to ask what's inseason on the roof. Right now, Tuscan kale, broccoli rabe and Southern giantcurly mustard are growing for the restaurant's seasonally inspired menu.
