WCGN – West Central Germantown Neighbors
Welcome to West Central Germantown, a neighborhood situated within one of the oldest settlements in Pennsylvania and located in the northwest section of Philadelphia.
West Central Germantown Neighbors (WCGN) is an all-volunteer association dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life in a diverse neighborhood. WCGN works to limit expansion of institutional uses and supports historic preservation. Members initiate and encourage group projects to maintain a safe and beautiful place to live, including a garden on the grounds of the Tulpehocken Train Station. We are proud of the creativity and inclusiveness of the neighborhood culture, and sponsor social events to strengthen community bonds.

Join us for our Spring work day. We’ll be laying cardboard, spreading leaves, and doing some essential weeding- some of which may involve digging. If we get a strong turnout, we might even tackle a few bigger projects. If you can, bring a wheel barrow, pitchfork, rakes, shovels, hoes, picks, and your favorite gardening tools. Let’s make this a productive and fun start to the growing season. And yes – there will be pizza!
