PLANTING FOR PUBLIC AND SPECIAL PLACES
CASH AWARDS FOR PLANTING PROJECTS
See application at bottom of page (note goes directly to
NGC chairmen)
Plantings for Public and Special Places is
a 2011-2013 President's Project. Representing three areas of
interest; Gardens with Edibles, Container Gardens, Trees and
Shrubs, this project recognizes ALL garden club service to
communities when members provide Plantings for Public and Special
Places. These plantings can beautify, have environmental value or
provide sustenance. Possibilities exist for every garden club,
regardless of its size, resources, and energy levels. Clubs,
districts and regions will be awarded Certificates of Appreciation
and Participation by the NGC President. Details regarding
categories and monetary awards will be printed on the NGC website.
To receive this recognition, participants are asked to submit an
online form, available on the NGC website, along with a before and
after digital photo. Updates and TIPS that will inform and
stimulate your creative gardening minds will be posted on the NGC
website.
Garden clubs may submit online forms for any or all of the three
(3) areas of interest listed below. Submission deadlines are April
1, 2012 and April 1, 2013. Plantings for Public and Special Places
aligns extremely well with other areas of interests of our garden
club outreach: Blue Star Memorial Markers, Habitat for Humanity
Gardens, Penny Pines, Plant It Pink, Sage and Roses, and Arbor Day
ceremonies, to name a few. Imagine the possibilities!
