Great Place: Garden Dreams, Urban Farm in Wilkinsburg

All the great events coming up in Pittsburgh, have pushed off some of the slice of life posts I would like to do more of.

We have a tiny but productive garden in our front yard, but when we need more great stuff from fresh plants to fresh vegetables, we have been heading to this amazing and beautiful urban farm in Wilkinsburg.

"Heirloom tomatoes, sweet & hot peppers, eggplants and basil are our passion and specialty. We offer an amazing variety of each."

The farm has a large selection of small seedlings, available during regular hours. Vegetables are primarily marketed to restaurants and only available Saturday mornings.

(PS, I know the basket shows a few things that are overripe or have minor defects. We happily take their rejects)

Pittsburgh, Show Off Your Gardens On Steeltown Anthem

No, we don't have a High Line--but unlike New Yorkers many of us have a little slice of paradise in our backyard, alleyway, hillside or community garden down the block.

Steeltown Anthem wants pictures to post!

It’s summertime! I feel like here in Pittsburgh we wait all year for the couple months where we can grill outside, play in the park, swim and take long bike rides. In the past I have had people ask me if I would consider posting people’s gardens and I thought now is the perfect time! This isn’t limited to just your backyard, you can also submit public gardens as well!

How to submit:
1. Send me a photo or photos of your garden (.JPG files)
2. Include your first name and neighborhood
3. Email them to steeltownanthem@gmail.com
