Garden
Dreams is a small urban farm in Wilkinsburg.
We sell high quality vegetable,
herb and flower
seedlings grown using organic methods.
Heirloom tomatoes, sweet & hot
peppers,
eggplants and basil are our passion and specialty. We offer an amazing variety of each.
For years we
have been Certified Naturally Grown. Recently, we’ve decided we’re going to
become
certified organic. Our farm is built on
two vacant lots that, prior to being reclaimed,
consisted of
derelict and abandoned houses.
