There is a garden orientation with Grow Pittsburgh this Monday April 30th at 6pm at the Brashear Association (2005 Sarah Street, South Side). We will meet and go over some basic information on the garden for the 2012 planting season. After the presentation portion we invite folks to come visit the garden for a tour of the site. Please bring your community garden agreement with you if you have not completed it yet.

Bandi Schaum Community Garden
The South Side Community Garden at Bandi Schaum field is a project of the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association, South Side Community Council, City of Pittsburgh, and Grow Pittsburgh. We saw the need for a collective space for folks in our community to come and garden together. Located on the site of the old baseball field at Bandi Schaum, Spring 2012 was the garden’s first season.
