THE RITZ-CARLTON, DOHA IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF ITS NEW RITZ KIDS GARDEN
Placed at the heart of Qatari life and as a Green Key Certified hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Doha’s city credentials have been invigorated by the creation of a beautiful garden where natural homegrown produce is cultivated. Capturing the imagination and promoting the importance of sustainability, this new addition has been specially designed to bring the power of plants to children, as well as supply the hotel’s culinary team with a selection of herbs, fruit and vegetables to adorn The Lagoon offering, that is set to open in the upcoming month.
Custom-built using pre-used wooden tables, the raised beds house a selection of eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, chilies and more, alongside fruit trees, including banana and papaya. Planting has been considered to encourage curiosity for young minds, and as a valuable addition to the culinary mix, with perennial and annual herbs sown, like lemon balm, Mexican mint, Kaffir lime leaves and lavender. Encouraging the most productive growth and mindful of recycling, the team of gardeners produce homemade fertilizer from discarded breakfast eggshells and used coffee beans.
The Executive Chef David Dalhaus commented, “We are thrilled to launch the Ritz Kids Garden, and we’ve worked together to build a flourishing garden that thrives in our hot climate.
