COMMUNITY GARDEN
Nestled adjacent to Michael Brothers on Horning Road , an empty lot has transformed into the Horning Road Community Garden . Conceived by the minds of Michael Brothers ' dedicated employees , this garden is more than just a patch of green ; it ' s a living memorial to a cherished team member who left an enduring mark .
The metamorphosis of this Community Garden is a collaborative effort , fueled by the enthusiasm of Michael Brothers ' employees , supportive friends , and engaged neighbors . Eight planter boxes now adorn the landscape , complemented by a functional water collection and dispensing barrel . This garden has become a symbol of growth , both in produce and in communal bonds .
The garden bursts to life with an impressive array of crops from tomatoes to cabbage and peppers , yielding an abundance of flavors . The garden welcomes all from dusk to dawn , inviting the community to witness the beauty of growth and sustainability firsthand .
For those eager to dive deeper into the garden ' s story or contribute to its ongoing success , Michael Brothers extends an invitation . Simply dial 412-835-6428 for more information or to express your interest . Alternatively , stay connected with the garden ' s journey on Facebook .
