Raised Garden Beds
Raised beds provide organized areas for growing vegetables, flowers, and seasonal plants.
Community Garden • Active Community Initiative
A Place to Grow, Gather, and Connect.
Developed in connection with the community-asset commitment associated with the FHLBank Pittsburgh-supported affordable housing initiative, the Community Garden is a public space for growing, gathering, and connecting with the community.
Building more than housing.
Stable housing is strengthened by spaces that encourage participation, responsibility, routine, and a sense of belonging. The Community Garden complements the surrounding housing initiative with a shared outdoor environment where people can grow plants, care for the property, relax, and connect with others.
The project reflects Shawnee Development’s broader approach to community development: creating places that serve practical needs while also helping people feel invested in where they live.
A community space designed for participation.
Covered Gathering Space
A large pavilion with picnic tables and shaded seating creates a comfortable place to gather, eat, work, or spend time outdoors.
Accessible Garden Layout
A central walkway connects the garden beds, seating areas, pavilion, and other parts of the property.
Outdoor Seating
Benches, chairs, tables, and landscaped areas give residents places to rest and enjoy the garden.
Secure and Maintained Grounds
Fencing, defined garden areas, storage space, and maintained landscaping help create an organized and welcoming environment.
Open to the Community
The garden welcomes members of the public as a place to enjoy the outdoors, connect with others, and take part in a productive community space.
A garden with a larger purpose.
The Community Garden was developed as a meaningful public asset connected with the affordable housing initiative. Open to residents and the broader community, it creates opportunities for outdoor activity, hands-on participation, learning, shared responsibility, and connection.
The Garden in Action
Development that creates places for people.
Shawnee Development advances housing and community projects designed to meet practical needs while strengthening the places people call home.
