[Highland Park] ISO rock for landscaping
by Barton Kirk 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hello, Does anyone in the neighborhood have any large rocks roughly 8 to 14 inches long and 6 to 10 wide and deep that they are hoping to get rid of? I'm in need of 15 to 20 of such rocks for a rain garden. I know of some other places outside the neighborhood, but I was hoping I might locate some close by. Thanks, Barton -- Barton Kirk barton(a)ecoseeds.org SEEDS ecology + education + design P.O. Box 24036 Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412.363.2813 412.945.5138 (f) 802.238.0813 (c) www.ecoseeds.org

[Highland Park] Missing Pets
by Kate Porigow 19 May '10

19 May '10

I'm fairly new to Neighborhood Digest and noticed there are many pets listed as lost or found. As many of you know, the Animal Rescue League will gladly check for a microchip in any animals that are found. Please remember to do a microchip check before giving the pet away to another family or person. Of course, other shelters and clinics also do this, but ARL is probably the closest to Highland Park. I know if my cats went missing, I would be beside myself and hope that anyone who found them would check their microchips. Also, if your pet goes missing, remember to call all local shelters to see if it has been dropped off there. Most will hold animals for a few days so owners can find them! -- Kate

[Highland Park] Looking for Terra Cotta pots
by Alison Peebles 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi everyone! I'm participating in a neighborhood beautification project with at least 25 Garfield kids this weekend and we're having trouble finding Terra Cotta pots on the cheap. We are looking for average-sized pots for kids to paint and then fill with flowers. Last month we did a trash pick-up and filled 100 bags of trash. Does anyone have any Terra Cotta pots in their basement or garage they would be willing to donate to a good cause? We're working on an extremely small budget (isn't every nonprofit?) so the lower cost the better. Thank you in advance for joining us in the good work! Cheers, -Alison
