It is time to re-discover IRWIN!!  

The Green Bough is located on the second floor of a historic building (built circa 1900), on the corner of 4th and Main Streets in historic downtown Irwin (next door to Spark of Light Gift Store and right above their Healing Arts Center). There is convenient and ample public parking. There is easy access via Route 30 and the PA Turnpike from many points North, East and South of Pittsburgh, including Latrobe and Greensburg. Get directions and maps here.  Read more about our facility. We are only 13 miles East of the East-End Food Co-Op (honest!!)

And, while you are here, visit the Irwin Peace Garden.  It is an experience in urban intensive gardening!

We are continually developing new creative programs for individuals and for groups, such as drumming and family yoga. Our listings of classes and workshops are being updated continuously, so be sure to check out what is new in our Calendar of Events. 

For visual artists, we offer an alternative to traditional gallery space with an eclectic audience. The environment is relaxed, yet vibrant and professional. Bookings are currently being accepted. Contact us.

Please check this site often for current information.


You can reach us by email. You can also find out online what else is going on in the region on Holistic Pittsburgh, the web portal for all things holistic in Southwestern PA.
