FARMINGTON — The Mt. Blue Area Garden Club aims to cultivate community as well as gardens, which is why it awards scholarships every year to local students pursuing a post-secondary degree or certificate in horticulture or related studies.

This year, the club is offering one $1,000 scholarship. The scholarship is available to graduating high school seniors in Franklin County who plan to go on to study horticulture, botany, forestry, agriculture, ecology, hydrology, ecological preservation, landscaping, masonry, natural resource management and other garden-related programs, according to a news release from Rachel McClellan with the club.

The application submission deadline is Saturday, April 1. Learn more and download an application at mtbluegardenclub.org.
