The Allegheny Commons Community Garden has transformed an abandoned and dilapidated space into a useful and attractive plot. This area now provides accessible gardening opportunities to the socially and economically diverse Northside, North Shore and other City of Pittsburgh residents, businesses and organizational contributors, while returning a chronically underused parcel to an appealing and active use. What began as an idea in 2018, became a reality in 2019. Local residents worked diligently to transform an abandoned lot into a community asset.

In 2020, the garden committee aims to DOUBLE the raised bed capacity and continue renovating this space into a more attractive property.
