Thank you to everyone who supports our scholarship program

We appreciate everyone who supports our scholarship program, especially our wonderful AGC members who raised funds for the scholarship program, including the many hours they volunteer for our two biggest fundraisers -- the annual Plant Sale in May and Holiday Garden Art and Crafts Fair in November. You are a truly amazing, dedicated group of people!

We also thank the local schools (especially those in the career and counseling offices as well as the FFA teachers) and community members in getting the word out about the program. It's a team effort and always so rewarding to support our local youth.
