The Bellevue Friendship Garden offers a space for area residents to grow their own vegetables, herbs and flowers in an inclusive and welcoming environment that celebrates diversity and facilitates engagement regardless of culture, class, ethnicity, gender, age, or ability. We’ve partnered with Grow Pittsburgh, who are providing technical assistance and materials through their New Garden program to help us create and maintain a thriving community garden.

In addition to individual garden and compost memberships that are available for a seasonal fee, the garden will include communal herbs and flowers for all community members to harvest and enjoy at no cost. Garden members may rent only one bed. Membership includes use of the compost bins and access to finished compost. Compost members are not bed holders, but they can add their kitchen scraps and/or other acceptable material to our compost bins and have access to finished compost.

We envision the garden serving as an integral part of the local community and offering more than a space for growing food. Social, youth and educational activities will take place at the site, and we encourage all to participate and enjoy the space.

We ask all Bellevue Friendship Garden Members to adhere to the Garden Agreement and the Composting Guidelines, and apply for bed space each season. Returning gardeners will be given priority. We strive to ensure equitable access to participate and one or more plots may be made available at no cost to community members demonstrating need.
