Community Garden Reset 2017

As noted before, 2017 is a year of reinvention in the garden. Without Whole Foods' support, we have been scrambling to restructure and identify new resources. We are working on a long-term plan for the garden, including how to sustain it, and we want everyone in the community to be part of it.

To date, we have been awarded a Love Your [Resilient] Block grant from the City and received a Small Potatoes award from Grow Pittsburgh to support soil testing for our beds.

Most importantly, we need some hands and people to commit to helping us reinvent the space and how we will manage it!

Please join us this Saturday between 10 am and 12 pm for clean-up! Staff from Grow Pittsburgh will be there at 10 am to help us take soil samples for testing. 

And starting on Monday, May 8, Repair the World will be kicking on their bi-weekly garden volunteer nights from 6 - 8 pm. 

Here are some pictures from our work day earlier this month. Big thanks to Repair the World and Kentucky Avenue School for rallying the teams!

    Another justifiable reason motivation to have an outside in your lawn is that they are worked to keep going for long. Generally these models are made of genuine stones and substantial poly pitch that guarantees its quality. have a peek here

    In view of these certainties, doesn't a business shade seem like a beneficial speculation? What number of different apparatuses can affect expanding deals and diminishing expenses? community space for booking
