Community Garden Development

We are excited to announce that we will complete another stage of development at the Community Garden of Beechview! We've worked hard and been rewarded with a grant to provide much needed supplies and equipment to maintain and grow the garden site. Please join us:

Saturday, September 24th beginning at 9:00am

Plans for the day include:

- building 3 storage sheds

- labeling the butterfly garden plants

- weeding beds and mowing the field

- finish laying weed fabric and mulch on the paths

- removing plants from children's garden bed

- having a kick-ass time with friends and neighbors

All tools and gloves will be provided. We need as much help as we can get! Any and all neighbors who enjoy the garden or want a chance to meet and work with members of your community, we want you! Kids are very welcome. No experience necessary!

weeds!

Our little flower gardens are being suffocated by weeds! Better that than litter, but still...

Garden Weeding

Saturday, July 30th @ 9am

2 Gardens on Broadway (below the billboards) and the plot around the LED sign where Broadway meets Beechview.

Meet at the Park and Ride Lot. Gloves and good company will be provided.

June Clean-Up

Hi folks!

It's that time again - time to tackle the litter in our streets! Please join PUB for a lovely walk along Broadway Avenue, chat with neighbors and pick up trash. It's more fun than you can imagine!

Saturday, June 25th @ 9:00am as usual, meet at the parking lot on Broadway & Beechview.

Volunteering is cool and so are you!

Love,
Pretty Up Beechview

Tree Tending

Hey! We have some new residents in the neighborhood - TREES! Let's help them get established!

Saturday, June 4th from 10 to 12 has been designated as the Beechview Tree Care Day.

We will be focusing on the new trees along the 1300, 1400, and 1500 block of Beechview Avenue by pruning, mulching and watering. If you're interested in lending a hand, meet at the Firehouse on Beechview Avenue, tools will be provided.

Thank You

Our big May garden planting day was an incredible success and there was no way we could have done all the work without our volunteers. The most amazing group of people came together and helped turn 3 weedy little plots of land into 3 flowering gardens in addition to totally pruning, refining and planting the Community Garden and bringing the neighborhood dream into reality. A huge thank you to each and every person that came out, lent a hand, donated their time and resources to make Beechview a greener neighborhood.

We truly appreciate the following:
