The Penn Hills Community Garden is one of the most successful projects of the PHCDC. Sprouting in 2010 with only 16 beds, the community garden grew to 104 beds in 2012 and continues to grow today.
About the Garden
Located at 1162 Jefferson Road between McKenzie and Laurie Drives, the Penn Hills Community Garden has a mission to build healthy relationships between members, the community, and the environment through growing and sharing food, friendship, and knowledge.
Annual membership includes a 12×4 raised bed and access to water, tools, a greenhouse and other amenities as well as the knowledge of many seasoned gardeners. No experience is necessary to join, and we encourage and support first timers. All members are invited to participate in planning and organizing the garden and workshops, parties, and events are scheduled throughout the season.
Some of the garden’s community partners include Grow Pittsburgh, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, Western PA Search and Rescue Development Center, Penn Hills Senior Service Center, and local Cub Scout and Girl Scout troops.
