Bellefonte Community Children's garden

The mission of the Children's   Garden, created in 2007, is to  delight children and nurture their sense   of wonder in nature. This  beautiful place for fun, exploration and   learning includes six raised  beds where youth groups grow vegetables,   plus a sensory herb garden, a  garden full of plants with animal names, a   fairy garden, and a  butterfly garden planted by the Penn State Master   Gardeners.

Whether working to make sure Talleyrand Park shows visitors a  pretty face, or to beautify the Borough with flower plantings during the  summer; or working at the 9-11 Memorial Garden, or planting seeds with  school classes in the Community Children's Garden, the Garden Club  members are volunteers working to make our town a pleasant and  interesting place to live. We also learn about gardening topics at our  meetings, on field trips, and through garden tours.

The mission of the Bellefonte Garden Club is to promote gardening,  educate our members about gardening, and use plants and landscaping to  beautify our community. We are proud to be a part of Historic Bellefonte  Inc. Visit us online at facebook.com/BellefonteCommunityChildrensGarden.
