Partner Description - Pittsburgh Garden Experiment

The Pittsburgh Garden Experiment (http://pittsburghgardenexperiment.org/) is a member-supported forum for sharing resources. They provide free workshops at community gardens and local hot-spots as well as access to information, tools, and advice. Pittsburgh Garden Experiment is managed by a collective of green businesses in Pittsburgh as an outreach tool for interfacing directly with community garden leaders, volunteers, and their individual projects.
