[Highland Park] community gardens
by McGuire-Olzak, Lynn 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

The ability of Western Pennsylvania Conservancy to successfully maintain 140 community gardens hinges on the involvement of its volunteers. Unlike public garden and beautification programs in other cities, all of the flower gardens blooming throughout our region are planted and maintained by volunteers. Two of our most visible gardens, located in the Highland Park area, are in need of new maintainers. The first one is located at Allegheny River Blvd & Washington Blvd, and the second is at the Highland Park Bridge at Butler St. Western Pennsylvania Conservancy is looking for an interested person or group to volunteers to be the garden steward. Our Garden Stewards take care of a garden from the spring planting until the end of the October. We are hopeful that someone from your neighborhood might be interested in helping. I am enclosing a garden steward description as well as some general information about our Community Gardens program. Let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested. I will be glad to talk with you. Also if you have a group that would like to help with the plantings we will need around 5,000 volunteers this May to plant the gardens. We can schedule a planting almost any day in May. It is a one time commitment for around 4 hours. It is something that is fun for, family , school, scouts, neighborhood group to get involved in. Thanks, Lynn Lynn McGuire-Olzak Volunteer Coordinator Community Gardens & Greenspace Program Western Pennsylvania Conservancy 800 Waterfront Drive Pittsburgh,PA 15222 412-586-2324 lmcguire-olzak(a)paconserve.org Visit Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's beautiful gardens at www.paconserve.org.
