PGE along with Wiggy and Next Seven Farm are hosting a convergence of permaculture minds. The location is a beautiful work-in-progress nestled in a hollow in Colliers WV about 30 miles west of Pittsburgh. Isaac (Wiggy) is working to rebuild 5 greenhouses, plant orchards, and protect the natural order. His vision is of a place where people can gather, get their hands dirty, and learn the homesteading life first hand.
We will Start at 9am on March 27 with a full day of talks, hikes, and permaculture projects until 5pm. Later on that night we'll have a bonfire and hang out. Bring your instruments or drums. Food is POTLUCK. Cost is DONATION. All proceeds will go to admin, supplies, and a keg of local beer for the night. Feel free to come for the day or night or both. Indoor/Outdoor camping space is available.
To RSVP or for questions and directions email: PittsburghGardenExperiment@gmail.com
Topics covered will include but are not limited to:
- Wild Edibles
- Maple Syruping
- Growing Mushrooms
- Forestry
- Water Management
- Aquaponics
- Greenhouse Production
Here's a video of Isaac's farm a few years ago. It has changed a lot even since then!

Thanks for the question dude, i responded on the post.
Thanks! We will be getting 5 baby chicks next week (wednesday or thursday) I'll make sure to get pics of them up asap!
Sorry I haven't responded in a while. I don't have a garden in Squirell Hill. That is just where I currently live with my fiance. We were going to use my parents land on the north side, but the search for a permenant house for us delayed doing any of that. We might have a nice place in Lawrenceville with a nice little yard for gardening soon, but it might be too late to get something in this year. Next year, though, will be a good gardening year, I hope.
Hey Jeff. I 'll keep in touch.
Jeff, That's great about your research, crossing my fingers on that. Should I bring some soil from my backyard to that class for you so you can start your sprouts in it?
Jeff, you are a good man for all of this organizing you're responsible for, and I'm sure everyone will benefit. Hit me up and let me know how everything's going for you...maple season is over, and now I'm in the garden. I start work 5 days a week at Meadowcroft Museum on the first, but would still love to contribute to your efforts.
I double-dug two veggie beds in my backyard this morning. It was a pain in the ass, but it's over! Thanks to Mickey's class, I knew what I was gettting into tho.
Happy Friday the 13th! I got my seeds in the mail yesterday!
