One of our most important service projects is Civic Development, where our mission is to “work in cooperation with local governments and nonprofit organizations to enhance public gardens in the Greater Johnstown area.” Currently we have 16 sites which are pictured below.

Seed Money Received for Incline Plane Gardens for 2023 Year

The Garden Club of Johnstown received a Seed Money grant ($50) from the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania, our state chapter, to reclaim the Inclined Plane Gardens at the visitor’s viewing platform after a 2 year rehabilitation of the historic 133 year old railway which was built to carry people, horses and wagons to the hilltop.

The seed money is intended to give us a start on the project! Watch here for Before and After pictures.
