We are the community service organization that maintains the flower beds and butterfly bed on the Beaver Meadow walking trail in Du Bois. We also maintain beds at the public library, the city building, the two Penn State embankment beds, the butterfly bed at Parker Dam, and the Brady Street Parking Lot bed. The flower boxes on Brady Street were added in 2006. In the year of 2007 the group took on the renovation of the Reitz Theater landscaping and did some plantings at Rumbarger Cemetery.
In 2009 the group has tentative plans for a garden club for children. It will meet separately from the main organization. For information contact us at downtoearthgardenclub@hotmail.com

The Club was off the block in the spring of 2005 with the renovation of the Embankment Bed-East. This is the most formal of our beds and the design concept was originally based on the successive blooming of perennials, as well as leaf color and texture. An attempt was made to retain that formal look in the renovation while refreshing the original plan. This year the group is working with some innovative designs for container planting. These experiments in color will be showing up at the Brady St. Lot and and at the Library. We will also be expanding the plantings at the City Building. Look for our plantings and feel free to contact us with any input. We welcome suggestions, members, plants, advice and contributions of just about any sort. Happy Gardening! |
