Grow Pittsburgh

Will you please contribute $30 by August 24 to help students at one school discover the joys of growing and tasting fresh food from the garden?

With food safety concerns making headlines and the cost of groceries continuing to skyrocket, our shared work to teach children about where food comes from and how to grow it themselves has never felt more important.

We are so excited to be bringing the Garden Get Down back to Grist House this year-we had such a blast with you last year!

This year’s Garden Get Down will feature a community seed swap, tours of the Millvale Community Garden, and a small awards ceremony that celebrates local champions of fresh food access. Our friends at 408 Heirloom and Grist House will be serving up creative dishes and drinks that highlight the best of the season’s local produce.

This year’s School Garden Hero, Courtney Lamb, is a pre-K teacher at Heritage Early Childhood Center in Braddock, where she’s taught for 13 years. For the past three years, she’s helped lead the school’s garden, introducing preschoolers to the joys of growing food, exploring nature, and learning outside. We’re excited to recognize Courtney at this year’s Garden Get Down for her dedication to nurturing curiosity, confidence, and a love of nature in her students.
