"Sowing the Seeds of Harmony through Nature"
About this program:
The scholarship was established in 1980 by a group of ten members of the Parkland Garden Club. The purpose of the scholarship is to further the interest of graduating seniors in the fields of horticulture/floriculture or a related field of study. Initially, the scholarship was in the amount of $250, and the scholarship amount for 2023 will be $2,000.00. Applicants may be from any school district represented by members of the Parkland Garden Club, and the recipient is chosen after an interview by a committee of three garden club members. The Parkland Garden Club is proud of the many fine scholars who have profited from this philanthropy.
The Parkland Garden Club annual scholarship was recently awarded to Sydney Ult at our June 2022 meeting. Sydney is the daughter of Kevin and Heather Ult of New Tripoli.
