We are happy to share the following announcement with you. Please help us spread the word as this workshop is a 100% volunteer effort. Thank you. -- Landscapes & Hardscapes: Adding value to your home and community Saturday, March 21, 2009 1:00 - 3:30 PM Mifflin Avenue United Methodist Church, 905 Mifflin Ave., at Whitney Ave. The Regent Square Civic Association, Greater Park Place Neighborhood Association, North Point Breeze Community Development Corporation, and Whitney Park Neighbors are partnering again with the Community Design Center of Pittsburgh to put on another FREE workshop for homeowners interested in improving the value of their homes. This year's workshop will look at making exterior improvements to the landscape and hardscapes around our homes. Presenters will provide information on: - good landscape design - stormwater management, - street trees, - the use of native plants in the landscapes, - and more! As it was last year, there will be presentations from approximately 1:00 - 2:00, followed by an open time for participants to talk with the presenters and others from the organizations they represent, as well as visit information tables from others offering relevant products or services. In addition, landscape architects from the Community Design Center will offer a limited number of free "mini-consultations" for residents who bring pictures of areas they want to develop. Look for more information on flyers that will be posted around the Regent Square business district or contact info@parkplaceblog.com Save the date, and see you there!
