Welcome to Dogwood Circle
Lock Haven Garden Club
Dogwood Circle Garden Club
The Dogwood Circle of the Lock Haven Garden Club was established in 1960, and maintains the gardens at the Triangle across from the Post Office and at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. The club meets monthly in various venues to learn more about gardening, plants and flower arranging, and occasionally embarks on gardening related excursions. We schedule planting and clean up days throughout the growing season and every one has assigned weeks for weeding and maintenance.
We thank the Clinton County Community Foundation for funding the plants, care and maintenance of these City gardens.
We thank the City of Lock Haven and the Streets department for water, mulch and manpower.
Wish to contact us? Find us on Facebook and leave a comment.
Our theme for 2026 Is "250 Years and Still Blooming" as we reflect on America's 250 Years.
June's Meeting at Mary's
We brought Nosegays, or Tussie Mussies
We had a lot of fun discussing our creations.
New Hose Houses!!
The Central Mountain Ninth Grade Construction Trades class, under the guidance of teacher Bill Probst, constructed new "hose houses" to replace the badly deteriorated ones at the Monument and Triangle Gardens.
We are eternally grateful that the City was able to deliver the materials from Lowe's to the school, and pick up the completed houses to the gardens for installation.
The class poses with the finished construction, Matt and Scott remove the old house.
Installing the new house at the triangle, and posing with the new house at the Monument.
Thank you all!!

may winner
Beth Moore and her granddaughter Sophia
113 Palmer Avenue, Mill hall
Dogwood Circle Garden Club’s June winner of the Garden of the Month Award is Beth Moore and her granddaughter Sophia, 113 Palmer Avenue in Mill Hall. Beth credits Sophia as the designer and creator, as well as the muscle behind the vibrantly colorful and interesting gardens. Both love color and light, and the front walk, foundation and front entrance deck abound in solar light trees, balls, light strings and lanterns. The walk, anchored on both sides with fairy gardens, is lined with pinks, coleus, hardy geranium, dusty miller, celosia, marigolds and tickseed coreopsis “SunKiss.”
Solar lights, hanging plants, colorful accents among the wide variety of colorful flowers delight the eye.
Potted annuals, vegetables (Lettuce and onions) are mixed in with perennials, (hosta) with unique hardscapes (iron bench, wheel).
Fairy gardens on both sides of the front walk welcome visitors, close up color, and hanging plants are included.
Sophia demonstrates planting the variety of annuals and hauled the 112 bags of mulch! She admits the hardest job is keeping the flowers alive!
gardens are chosen monthly from may to october and must be visible from a public road or alley.
Neatness, color, variety of plants and textures and natural elements are considered.
