Hey friends! The time to plant the new garden on Rodi Rd is almost here! The new Western PA Conservancy (WPC) roadside garden at the entrance to Penn Hills (between the Rodi Plaza and the Comfort Inn sign) will be planted on Saturday June 3 @ 9 am. Please join us and invite your friends and family too! WPC will provide shovels, gloves and water. There is no rain date. Parking information will be provided later.
A designer at WPC designed the garden with pollinator-friendly native shrubs, perennials and a long row of annuals in the front to provide summer-long color. WPC will provide all of the plants, will help us open and close the garden every year and will provide any troubleshooting. Local Roots Landscaping donated labor and equipment and have already built the garden beds. Four Penn Hills residents have offered to maintain the garden throughout the summer!
This beautiful garden at the entrance to Penn Hills, along with the 13 street trees we planted last fall and the 20 street trees we plan to plant this fall, will make a big improvement to our Rodi Rd business district. Let’s all pitch in! We hope to see you there!
