Grantee Spotlight

Standing up to a heat wave in the city seems effortless for the thousands of flowers in hanging baskets and containers in Pittsburgh. But there is a method and timeliness behind the magic of billows of red dragon wing begonias and profusions of chartreuse creeping Jenny despite the sweltering heat and dry spells. A watering truck manned with staff is busy every evening. Wands in hand like a symphony conductor, they work their magic in a circular motion. For about 40 seconds, each hanging basket lining Pittsburgh bridges and Downtown streets gets a big gulp of water nightly plus fertilizer weekly.

Planting and watering these thirsty beauties is their gift to the city
