Garden Dreams 2.0

The TIGERS Sense of Place Learning Group ventured back to Wilkinsburg Garden Dreams this past week to check back in on the sprouts they had planted along with the other produce in the community garden. They gained first hand experience harvesting and preparing (and eating!) local produce. They also composted garden scraps and fed the on site chickens.

Wilkinsburg Garden Dreams

The TIGERS program and Sense of Place Learning visited Garden Dreams in Wilkinsburg to learn about vegetable gardens, chickens, bee keeping, and more! To hear more about the organization and what they represent, our Saturday Light Brigade boys interviewed a knowledgeable member of the Garden Dreams staff.

To Frick Park we go...

Some of our finest TIGERS members ventured to Frick Park recently to take photo evidence of local wildlife and learn about lichen. While their they discovered a local stamp book from letterboxing.org and recorded their discovery with a stamp of their own!
