Welcome to Brightwood...

Alcoa Volunteers in Brightwood....

 

On Tuesday, May 15, volunteers from Alcoa helped out the neighborhood by planting the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy Garden at the corner of California and Marshall Avenues.  The group of 20 plus volunteers weeded, planted flowers and mulched the entire garden.  Teresa Radwan, garden steward, arranged for the volunnteers to plant the garden and will oversee the maintanance of the garden throughout the summer.  Brightwoood Civic Group is gratefull for all the hard work Teresa and the volunteers gave to create a beautiful green space in Brightwood.   We look forward to the continued growth of the garden and thank the Alcoa volunteers for sharing their time and talent to beautify Brightwood.
