Since April 2011, the owners of Shadyside Nursery have worked hard to provide Pittsburgh neighborhoods with quality plants, gardening supplies and landscaping/general contracting services. The nursery has evolved into a multi-use green space that hosts workshops, community events and also houses two local small businesses: Shadyside Worms and BeeBoy hives & honey.

The nursery’s focus has been on providing small business expertise to local gardeners and horticulturists, as well as an alternative to the big box stores that would rather create partnerships with big corporations than partnerships with their customers.  The Nursery works hard to provide local and natural options for gardeners and house plant lovers and they take pride in their products and services. Their customers continue to support a family owned business and they are grateful for the relationships they continue to build over their nine years in business.

For the past five years, Shadyside Nursery has expanded its community building by launching Weather Permitting, a family-friendly, outdoor BBQ-style summer concert series that features rotating bands, food trucks and more.  They also teach a variety of workshops at Workshop PGH with the aims of empowering and educating the community about plants.  Shadyside Nursery has a great outdoor space for families and friends to visit as well as a play area for kiddos and a dinosaur scavenger hunt on the grounds.
