AWARD #76

High School Distinguished Service Project

Bringing gardening and our youth together is an exciting process and it can

be fun for parents, grandparents or other adult friends. The High School

Distinguished Service Project Award and $100 for first place and $50 for

second place may be awarded to a high school student, grade 9-12, for an

outstanding civic project making a significant improvement for public

benefit, e.g. environment, conservation, landscape, horticulture, recycling,

horticulture therapy, etc. A single member club, group of member clubs,

districts or a state garden club must sponsor the contest.

Reach out to youth groups already formed or classes at school. Our youth

have been exposed to many different types of gardens. Those that prove to

be the most successful are those that relate to their experiences. If you have

or know of someone who has done an outstanding civic project consider

applying for Award #76 High School Distinguished Service Project under

Youth Awards.
