Here We Grow Pittsburgh, Here We Grow!

Here We Grow Pittsburgh, Here We Grow promotes fresh, local food and community spirit through the creation of community gardens.  In the program's inaugural season Grow Pittsburgh will work with community-based organizations in five locations to design and plant gardens on vacant lots.  The highlight of the program will be a Kick Off Harvest Party that invites the public on a Community Garden Tour and features a progressive dinner that reaps the harvest at each garden site.

This project supported in part by a Seed Award from The Sprout Fund.

The Sprout Fund is a nonprofit organization supporting innovative ideas and grassroots community projects that are catalyzing change in Pittsburgh.

 

Founded in 2001, Sprout is designed to facilitate community-led solutions to regional challenges and supports efforts to create a thriving, progressive, and culturally diverse region. With strong working relationships to many community organizations and regional stakeholders, The Sprout Fund is one of Southwestern Pennsylvania's leading agencies on issues related to civic engagement, talent attraction and retention, public art, and catalytic small-scale funding.

 

With ongoing local support and continued appreciation by the communities it serves, The Sprout Fund will continue to provide an entry point for young people to become involved and active in their communities and support projects that have the collective power to shape a new culture and vision for the region.
