[Highland Park] Saturday is Mulch Day at the SuperPlayground
by Bob Staresinic 11 May '07

11 May '07

It is time to spread the protective mulch around the SuperPlayground. There is one huge pile of Fibar mulch that is waiting to be spread (to a depth of 12 inches I am told). Saturday May 12th from 9 am until it is done, everyone is welcome to come up and help. Kids are welcome in addition to adults. Looking to tire your kids out? This is the time and place. We will have a bobcat to help move the mulch, along with wheelbarrows, rakes, and brooms. The weather looks to be beautiful--partly cloudy and only in the 70's. Take an hour or two and come up to the SuperPlayground and help out. You dont need to be there at 9, as it will probably take several hours to get all the mulch spread. The SuperPlayground is the community-built wooden structure near the reservoir. If you need directions, let me know. This is being done in anticipation of the Sweet 16 Party and Rededication of the SuperPlayground on Saturday June 9th from 11 am to 2 pm. Of course everyone is invited to join in that day also. See you tomorrow. Bob

[Highland Park] Donations for women's shelter?
by Amy P. Maceyko 09 May '07

09 May '07

We have some baby items (diapers, blankets, pacifiers, formula) and some mom items (lotion, hair products, woman's clothing) that we don't need for various reasons. I was wondering if anyone knows of any local women's shelter or other East End location that could use some or all of these items. Most were gifts that we can't use, and I'd like them to go to people who really need them. Thanks, Amy

by Jessica J. Pedersen 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hello Neighbors - If you love to garden or if you have plants that you need to thin or remove, then you'll enjoy the Pittsburgh Garden Swap. This is the seventh year for this local event and I hope that you stop by to partake in the swap and our gardening related activities. The Swap is a non-profit event for gardening enthusiasts of all ages, is taking place on Saturday, June 2nd at the Frick Environmental Center in Squirrel Hill. The beauty of this annual event is the ability for local gardeners to share and trade treasures from their own gardens. Here are the details: Pittsburgh Garden Swap Saturday, June 2nd 12:00pm - 3:00pm Frick Environmental Center 2005 Beechwood Boulevard, Frick Park in Squirrel Hill Admission: $3 per person Join local garden enthusiasts and trade perennials, annuals, seeds, bulbs, garden tools and decorations. Plants should be clearly labeled and well potted (please do not bring un-potted, poorly-potted or bare-root plants). Other activities include Pittsburgh Garden Stories a new activity that provides local gardeners with an opportunity to show off their gardens. Participants are asked to bring a photo of their blooming garden to the event and the Garden Swap team will provide a template for writing a short narrative about their gardening experiences, challenges, and triumphs. All Pittsburgh Garden Stories will be posted for participants to read. Select stories will be published on the Pittsburgh Garden Swap Website. Participants and their families will also be able to take part in hands-on, nature-inspired creative activities. Participants will be able to plant and take home their very own Grass-Hair Friend, a cup-size friend whose hair is really growing grass. Other activities include Seed Art, nature-inspired puppeteering, and face painting. In addition, vendors will also be on hand to display and sell their garden-inspired creations. The Pittsburgh Garden Swap is sponsored by the East-End Coop, the Frick Environmental Center, and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. Proceeds will support Frick Environmental Center programming and the Pittsburgh Garden Swap operating fund.
