FLORENCE, Wis. -- The Glacial Gardeners Association recently awarded two scholarships to Baily Broecker of Kingsford.
Broecker received the Hazel (DeGayner) Dault Memorial scholarship, donated by Dault's siblings, of $1,250. She also received the Inga Fleming Memorial Scholarship for $1,000.
Broecker is a fourth-year student at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis., with a major in communication and media studies, and a minor in earth science.
Both scholarships are open to students who reside in Iron or Dickinson counties and Florence or Marinette counties in Wisconsin. The scholarships are awarded annually to beginning and returning students who are studying agricultural and applied economics, agricultural education, agronomy, botany, entomology, environmental sciences or engineering, forestry, horticulture, landscape architecture, plant pathology, soil science, earth science or wildlife ecology.
The Glacial Gardeners thank the siblings of Hazel (DeGayer) Dault, who generously donated $1,250 for this year's scholarship.
The Glacial Gardeners appreciate the many community members who attend and support the annual plant sale on the last Saturday in May at the Florence County Fairgrounds. Proceeds from the plant sale help fund the Inga Fleming Memorial Scholarship program that has now awarded $35,500 to area students.
The group also acknowledges the volunteers who helped with the plant sale and the following businesses and organizations who donated money, materials or advertising: Spread Eagle Garden Center, Jessica Klumpp and the Florence County Fair Board, Eric Printz and Florence County Economic Development, Pat's Foods, Tony's Green Thumb greenhouse in Bark River and Stephenson Marketing.
The Glacial Gardeners meet at 5 p.m. the second Monday of every month in the lower level conference room at the Florence Natural Resource Center. They are involved in many projects in local communities and with area schools.
New members interested in gardening at home as, well as within the community are always welcome. Annual membership dues are $15.
