Howdy folks! It's been a long winter for the garden project but now that spring is upon us things are happening!

I'm very happy to share that the seven gardens in this project are receiving over a $1000 each! In efforts to clear the remaining stock and give even more, and I are offering %50 off on all remaining posters. Use code GARDENALLIES at the online store to secure these for $100 each!

We'll be highlighting each Garden as we disperse the donations over the next couple weeks. Now's your chance to get a poster and support some gardens!

We’re back again with poster 3 out of 7: The Homewood Rain Garden! Born from the hard work and pride of Zinna Scott and fellow Homewood residents, as well as a grant from The Love My Neighbor! program, this green space serves as an attractive entrance to the neighborhood from the nearby East Busway parking lot. Aside from the aesthetic value the space brings to the neighborhood, the ecological benefits of this garden are evident in the abundance of pollinators buzzing around the flowers and the landscaping design that keeps rainwater from spilling into the streets. Unless you utilize the Busway, it’s likely you won’t come across this quiet corner, so I’d encourage anyone to make a pitstop while you’re on an East End errand to come and admire the work that went into this welcoming space.

You can learn more about this garden by checking out lovemyneighborgrants.com (a program of to see how you can get help in creating beautiful spaces in your neighborhood.

I am happy to announce this poster as well as the previous two, are NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE! All posters are $200 (plus shipping) at online store. 100% of sales will go to Neighborhood Allies to be distributed to the garden owners featured in this project. Thank you for supporting Pittsburgh gardens!

Like everyone else, I’m glad 2020 is in the rearview mirror, but I’m thankful for what it has given me; a new and very real perspective of my position in the world, a reckoning of my privilege, and the time to think of what I can do for others. I took a lot of time to listen and absorb - it didn’t feel important to make or promote my own artwork amidst the BLM protests when so many people had urgent, dire messages to broadcast. As I was taking this time to reflect, I started looking for overlooked areas in Pittsburgh that deserve to be seen and celebrated. With the guidance of , I landed on urban gardens; quiet spaces that offered peace, nourishment, and community to people during the pandemic. Again with the help of Neighborhood Allies, I was put in touch with the the people that developed and cared for seven gardens around Pittsburgh:

The African Healing Garden
The Black Urban Gardeners Farm
The Gardens of Millvale
The Homewood Rain Garden
The Peace and Friendship Farm
The Positive Effect Community Garden
The Sleeping Octopus Garden

Together, the garden owners and I created designs for seven posters that I am now screen printing. These posters will be for sale upon completion - 100% of the proceeds will go to the owners of the gardens. Please follow along as I print these posters and highlight the wonderful places they depict. Cheers.
