Hey Penn Hills! It’s time again to plant the Penn Hills Entrance Garden on Rodi Road! The 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 May 17th @ 9 am. Please join us and invite your friends and family too as we plant the annuals that will make our Penn Hills Entrance Garden burst with color all summer long. WPC will provide shovels, gloves and water. There is no rain date. Parking information will be provided later to folks that register (below).
The PH Entrance Garden:
A designer at WPC designs the garden with pollinator-friendly native shrubs, perennials and a long row of annuals in the front to provide summer-long color. Each Spring our wonderful Penn Hills volunteers replant the annuals and take care of the perennials to start the season. The WPC provides all of the plants, helps us to annually open and close the garden, and provides any troubleshooting. Local Roots Landscaping donated labor and equipment to build the garden beds. Generous local businesses provide the much-needed funding for the garden’s needs and four Penn Hills residents volunteer to water, weed, and maintain the garden throughout the summer!
This beautiful garden at the entrance to Penn Hills, along with the 31 street trees we’ve planted, will make a big improvement to our Rodi Rd business district. Let’s all pitch in! We hope to see you there!
