History
This urban farm and plant nursery, previously owned and operated as a private business by Grow Pittsburgh co-founder Mindy Schwartz, was a treasure in the local urban agriculture community for nearly 20 years. In December 2019, Schwartz donated the property to Allegheny Land Trust to own and preserve in perpetuity with Grow Pittsburgh partnering to run the urban farm and greenhouse operations.

New Greenhouse and Redevelopment
In 2021, we protected the property through a community land trust agreement, and we built two new greenhouses that doubled our growing capacity. These seedlings become an abundance of fresh local food for thousands of residents each year in community gardens, school gardens, back yards, and urban farms throughout Allegheny County.

Our 2024 seedling sale will go from April 15 – June 22 throughout various locations, but with a lot of variety and abundance available at Garden Dreams. We look forward to meeting all of your plant needs and welcoming you to our greenhouses!
