The Lions Club of Poland, OH

10/20/2026

Thanks to all the members of the Lions Club of Poland, OH that helped in someway to establish this perennial pollinator garden along 616 as your enter Poland from Struthers.

Shown here are Lions Bert, Brittany and Dave as we completed mulching in the garden with wood chips this past Saturday October 17, 2026.

Our plans are to add a sign commemorating the establishment of the garden during the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Please know, a native plant garden such as this takes two to three years to reach peak performance, but I suspect it will look pretty darn good next growing season.

If you are currently a non-member and care to learn more about the Poland Lions, please comment on this post and I will get back to you.

All the best to the Poland Community.

The Lions Club of Poland, OH was pleased to assist at the "Pack the Valley" event held today at the Canfield Fairgrounds.

The goal this morning was packing 95,000 meals. On our part we packed 18 full boxes of a dried meal. We are told all meals packed today will be distributed in various ways including food pantries in our area.

From left to right, thanks to Paul, Jim, Karen, Doug, Dave and Judy.

The Lions Club of Poland, OH is very pleased to share this message.

As of Friday September 25, 2026 members planted about 50 pollinator perennial plants at a new garden we established this fall. It is at the base of the service club sign array along 616 at the foot of Hill Drive, as you enter the village coming from Struthers to the north.

Please know that:
1. We still need to mulch around the plants
2. This fall, these mostly native plants won't look like much until they bloom again next growing season, and it will be 2 to 3 seasons before they peak. Be patient.
3. The metal structure was cleaned up and repainted by volunteers from New Life Church back in August. Thanks volunteers!
4. We plan to add a sign commemorating the establishment of this garden in celebration of the USA Semiquincentennial, 2026.
5. We hear from the Mason's that their sign will be updated.

Thanks to all that support the Lions when we fund raise as funds are used to complete our service projects in the community.

Thanks to all volunteers that worked though this project.

If you like seeing things done for our community, and would like to help directly, please consider joining the Lions Club of Poland, OH.

All the best to you, and enjoy the garden for years to come.
