Horticulture scholarship


The Madison District of the Wisconsin Garden Club Federation invites applications through 4/15 for a $500 scholarship to a student planning to pursue a degree in a horticulture-related field of study (including landscape architecture, botany, conservation, forestry or environmental studies).

Eligible applicants must attend high school in a city in which a district club is located: Madison, Verona, Sun Prairie or Mount Horeb.

The WGCF, founded in 1928 to stimulate gardening knowledge, promote civic beauty and protect natural resources, is the largest volunteer gardening organization in the state.

Information on the scholarship is available in the administration offices of schools in the affected communities or by contacting Judith Niederberger, Madison District scholarship chair, at 608-845-7057.
