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.

Next Meeting: September 2 at the Heisey House Museum
