COMMUNITY EVENTS OF INTEREST
Dear Neighbors,
If you are in the market for some additional garden plants consider attending The Garden Club of Forest Hills Annual Plant sale on Saturday, May 4th from 9am-2pm at the Forest Hills Presbyterian Church on Ardmore Boulevard in Forest Hills. It’s not far from the Forest Hills exit off the parkway east heading towards East Pittsburgh and Turtle Creek.
Most perennials will be $6.00 per quart size pot. A few are gallon size and a bit more expensive. Most of the plants offered for sale are deer resistant and pollinator friendly. We’ll also have a small selection of common herbs, tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers. All plants were locally grown.
List of perennials we ordered from the grower, prices and descriptions is below.
The profits from this sale help pay for public plantings in the Ardmore Boulevard corridor, ‘The Hillside Garden’ in Forest Hills Park and ‘The Avenues Garden’ located in a residential neighborhood on the hillside above the old Westinghouse Atom Smasher off Rt. 30.
Come early for the best selection.

On Saturday, April 27, 2019, the Churchill Garden Club is planning an Earth Day cleanup--in addition to our BGC cleanup already scheduled for April 6. We'd love to help our CGC friends, so if you can help on either or both dates, please let us know! We'll post more deets as we know them! Thank you!
In Honor of Tony Schryer
Saturday, 10/14
7pm, BCA Clubhouse
As many of you know, the Blackridge community recently lost a dear friend. Tony Schryer died Wednesday, September 20, and we will all miss him very much.
His family would like to celebrate Tony’s happiness living in Blackridge with an Ice Cream Social in conjunction with the Blackridge Talent Show on Saturday, October 14, 7pm at the BCA. This event is free for all!
Tony was a people person. He was genuinely interested in how folks were doing. We hope that this fun event will be a great way to remember him and how he touched so many lives in the community.
We’ve got a lot of great acts to help make this a wonderful event. We could use a few more! Can you play the piano? Can you dance? Do you do magic tricks? Sing? Gymnastics? Mime?
Note: If you are a piano player, we will have an excellent weighted-key, full keyboard, digital piano for the event.
If you’d like to perform your fun and entertaining act at the talent show, email Maria (shirleytemple83@aol.com) soon! Let her know what your act is and we’ll put it in the program.
Bring a snack to share.
Looking forward this meaningful and fun event!
