The Pittsburgh Garden Experiment (http://pittsburghgardenexperiment.org/ [1]) 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.
The Pittsburgh Garden Experiment is partnering with the SCA to take on a Sustainable Agriculture Fellow.
The Sustainable Agriculture Fellow will be responsible for:
- Helping to expand and create business opportunity with a 100% local garden supply catalog in 2010
- Helping to organize meetings, events and road trips
- Connecting and maintaining relationships with community garden leaders, venue managers, and
beginner gardeners
- Assisting in the creation of the new garden supply catalog. Will include design, sourcing supplies,
managing the street team and testing the garden products
- Cultivating and harvesting fruits and vegetables on the customers' city farms
- The planning, planting, and cultivation of farm projects
