I provide loving and professional care for little ones and pets in Highland Park, Friendship, Stanton Heights and Bloomfield. I'm available Monday-Friday, and can offer some flexibility within my schedule. I do have current clearances and references. I truly enjoy time spent with kids & animals and I'm looking forward to connecting with some more neighbors who could use an extra hand :) ~Jessica Koehler 412-337-0159 healtobefree(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Fulton Garden
by Guido Giuntini 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hello Surprised Gardeners! (Who knew we'd be out in shirt sleeves tending our gardens in mid March.) If you have any left over bulbs from spring planting that you'd like to share with the Fulton Elementary garden volunteers, there is a space dedicated to the students to plant and tend and learn how all this birds and the bees stuff works. Just drop off your bulbs (label what they are) on the porch at the address below and we'll get the kids started: 1146 N Negley AveAnd of course we are looking for neighborhood volunteers to help keep the lovely garden in shape. The Community Gardens & Greenspace Program of the Western PA Conservancy did a fabulous job creating a new garden space in front of the school about which the whole neighborhood can be proud. Let me know if you'd like to come join us and then we'll work out a time of the week to meet on Hampton St at Fulton Elementary. Margot
