Not a native of Pittsburgh, I always imagined a city void of trees, grass, or green of any type. This, however, could not be further from the truth. Within the small neighborhood of Morningside, where I have been living for the past several months, every house has a garden with flowers, trees, and even produce. Many of the residents, including the large Italian population, have sacrificed the little lawn space allotted to maintain the tradition of growing their own vegetables and herbs. It is a charming aspect of the neighborhood; and one that, as I become more familiar with the city, I realize is not isolated to this small community. The gardens and green spaces make this city unique.
