SCHOLARSHIPS — The Jane Parr Scholarship Fund provides generous scholarships given annually at a Spring luncheon to several students majoring in horticulture, landscape architecture, forestry, conservation, floraculture, turf management, organic farming, conservation wildlife management, or any related field. The scholarships are given in memory of Jane Parr, a former MWGC member and established and funded by Jane’s husband, Russell Parr. Please contact us at MWGC@ymail.com. Scholarship applications can be mailed to Arlene Gordon, 473 Liberty Drive, Yardley, PA 19067 or waltermgordon@verizon.net.

MEETINGS — Garden Club Meetings are held September to May on the fourth Wednesday of the month starting at 1:30 pm at the American Legion on 41 Linden Ave., Newtown, PA. Our meetings are once again open to the public for a small fee. At most monthly meetings, we have a speaker presentation and a flower Little Show. We are a 501(c)3 organization performing several small community service activities, coordinating tours to gardens of interest and providing workshops to improve our skills.
