The CCDC Garden is a member of Grow Pittsburgh, an urban agricultural program catering to Allegheny County. Not only does our garden bring together members of our community to develop gardening skills, but the produce grown in the garden goes directly to the CCDC Food Pantry to be used by local families in need.
With a seed, you can feed a person in need.
HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE THIS SEASON
1.
Routine Maintenance
Lawn mowing, plant watering, weeding... all of these chores can use your TLC. Most weekends, volunteers will be active behind the garden house tending to the community garden, and they are always happy for extra hands. A little help can go a long way. For more information on any regular upkeep tasks that you would be willing to take on, click here to contact us.
2.
Plot Adoption Program
With spring around the corner, we are excited to announce that we are accepting requests to “adopt a plot” in our community garden! This is a season long commitment which allows you to come and go as you please, tending to the plants, removing weeds, harvesting, watering etc. Must be able to commit from May - September.

The “Adopt a Plot” project is designed to bring the community into our community's garden. It teaches children that with a seed, you can feed those in need in our community.
If you have a group that would like to participate in our community garden, please email Meryn Czepiel at meryn@corycdc.org.
