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.

Our theme for 2026 Is "250 Years and Still Blooming" as we reflect on America's 250 Years.
Meeting: October 7 at Cathy's House
We had fun making candles. Cathy provided wax and wicks. We brought dried flowers and tea/coffee cups. While our colonial predecessors made candles for utilitarian purposes, our are purely decorative!
We began by stabilizing the wick and then adding flowers. Below: 2 are finished.
Mary brought an example of how to use a candle as an accessory to a dried arrangement.

Garden of the Month
October
This Month's winner is Susan packer, 281 Susquehanna Avenue in Lock haven
Sandy loves working with flowers and has placed many colorful potted chrysanthemums, impatiens, pumpkins and gourds, some come from Amish farms, and some from her friend kim Moore's flower farm, highlighting favorite decorative craft and vintage items (many from Pat sanders) around her home. many came from friends and family (her nephew installed the colorful lights!) and are special to Susan. Homemade scarecrows, wooden wheelbarrow, colorful lights and other seasonal décor delight the viewer.
That's all for 2026! see you next year!
