Punxsutawney Garden Club honored with Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Community Pride Award
(Courier Express) State Rep. Brian Smith recently honored the Punxsutawney Garden Club (PGC) with the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Community Pride Award for its unwavering dedication to making Punxsutawney a cleaner, greener and more welcoming place to live and visit.
The PGC, a dedicated group of 38 local gardening enthusiasts, continues its mission of enhancing the beauty and greenery of Punxsutawney through year-round beautification projects and community engagement.
For 92 years, the PGC has worked tirelessly to maintain and improve public spaces throughout the town. Their efforts include seasonal cleanups, planting initiatives and the installation and upkeep of flower beds, benches and greenery in key locations such as Barclay Square and other welcoming areas. The club is also known for its creative seasonal hayrack ornament displays and its ongoing recognition of residents through the “Gardens of the Month” program.
