| Our
Vision for a Greener ELPC
The Landscape Committee is currently
working with Terra Design Studios to make the church grounds more
welcoming. We are also exploring options on how to make our “front
yard” along Penn Avenue a more active
and dynamic outdoor space. The design concept is called “The Liberty,”
referencing the original use of East Liberty as a tract of land
outside the township limits set aside for public use.
The Liberty is...
- A non-traditional landscape in
a Church setting
- An environmentally sensitive
landscape that:
- Harvests rainwater on-site
- Increases the biodiversity of East Liberty
- Improves the microclimate around the Church
- A place to experience nature
in an urban setting
- A sensory experience
- Beautiful, while lowering maintenance
costs
Our new landscape master plan will
also coordinate with the East Liberty Development Green Vision
for East Liberty and their plans for the East Liberty Town Center.
Look for plans and images of the
proposed planting posted in the first floor hallway during the
month of June. If you are interested in helping with this project,
either working with the design team or planting on one of our
landscaping days, please contact Chuck Lukehart at (412) 782-6447.
