✿✿✿✿Lookout Street Garden Update✿✿✿✿

if you have requested a plot, now is the time to get gardening!

A BIG thank you to the City of Pittsburgh Department of Public Works! The construction crew put down a gravel base and moved the shed to the shady side of the garden. They also installed the split rail fence, moved 2 benches to a shady corner and moved the boxes of 4 plots! Not only all that, but they also gave us a water source! WOW! Don Donaghey and Lenore Zotter shoveled soil to refill 2 boxes.

Help is needed to move the remaining piles of soil into the empty boxes.
A combination lock will be purchased and the combination given to those who garden there. The tools now stored at the THC office will be stored in the shed.
If you have requested a plot, now is the time to get gardening! Email us at troyhillpittsburgh@gmail.com for more information or to register.

Troy Hill Citizens General Meeting Wednesday March 11, 7:PM @ MHN School Hall

Dear Friend of Troy Hill Citizens, Inc.
This is just a short reminder that our first general meeting of the year is on March 11, Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the Most Holy Name School Hall.  This will be an informative and interesting beginning for the year so I hope everyone will plan on attending.
Again let me remind you of my request to BRING A FRIEND.
 
They don’t need to be members, just residents of the community.  We are hoping to spread the word about what is happening through Troy Hill Citizens and, as always, hope to get feedback from the community.  So mark your calendars and . . . bring a friend.
