The Garden Club of McKeesport was founded in 1933 and since 1938 has leased the property from the City of McKeesport and it has been our responsibility to maintain these grounds. Through backbreaking hard work, the generosity of donations from caring benefactors and countless plant and craft sales we have brought this garden up to a standard of national recognition. We are the second largest rose garden in PA and have been voted one of the top 10 best AARS rose gardens in America. All of this is due to the loyal dedication of our members.
Our main focus of the Garden Club of McKeesport is maintaining our 3 1/2 acre public garden of AARS roses, perennials, water pond, herb garden and a beautiful butterfly garden. It is open from dawn to dusk, free of charge to all who visit. It is the mail focal point of the McKeesport community as well as the surrounding communities.
We will host five teas annually: May 4th Mothers Day, and the second Thursday in June, July, September and October. We will also provide many tours of our beautiful garden and well as luncheons upon request.
We will end the year assisting the community by participating in McKeesport's Festival of Trees with the sale of fresh greens, crafts and a bake sale.
The Garden Club of McKeesport members average 4000 hours yearly and maintain the Arboretum at Renziehausen Park in McKeesport including the Rose Garden. The Club consists of four membership classes: Regular members who are required to work in the gardens or our events, Associate members who cannot physically work but are full members, Provisional members are newly accepted members and must complete all requirements to become an Active member. Honorary Membership is a new category for membership to financially support the club without the work requirements. Click on the button below for more info.
