Heidelberg Business District Garden Adoption Program
Made possible by the revitalization of Route 50 in Heidelberg, there are now a series of ten garden areas along our core business district that need tending to. Heidelberg Borough is seeking interested volunteers to become special Garden Tenders for the public garden beds along Route 50.
The duty of the Garden Tenders will be to routinely weed, water and provide simple upkeep such as litter-getting of their adopted garden bed.
To recognize your garden adoption, a sign will be placed in your respective garden stating that this garden is adopted by you, your family or business.
The gardens that are available to adopt include the following:
• 1900 Block Billboard Garden
• 1800 Block Billboard Garden
Sites that have already been adopted:
• First Street Traffic Island Garden – Thomas and Walpurga Allen
• Third Street Steps and Clock Garden Bed – Al and Dolly Kosol
• 1700 Block Hillside Groundcover Garden – Thomson Landscape & Design, LLC
• 1700 Block Billboard Garden – Al and Dolly Kosol
• Second Street Bumpouts – Apple Printing
• Third Street Bumpouts – Hinnebusch Family
• Fourth Street Bumpouts – Lindemann Family & Ernesto Carmona
• Gas House Garden – Rebecca Stanhope and Mayor Ken LaSota
If you are interested in volunteering to become a Heidelberg Garden Tender, please contact Joe Kauer, Borough Manager at 412-276-0363 and let him know what garden area you are interested in adopting.
