Down To Earth Garden Club

Welcome

We are the community service organization that maintains the flower beds and butterfly bed on the Beaver Meadow walking trail in DuBois. 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.
