High School Distinguished Service Project

YOUTH AWARD #76

Bringing gardening and our youth together is an exciting process and can be fun for
parents, grandparents or other adult friends. The High School Distinguished
Service Project Award along with $100 for first place and $50 for second
place may be awarded to a high school student, grade 9-12, for an outstanding
civic project making a significant improvement for public benefit, e.g.
environment, conservation, landscape, horticulture, recycling, horticulture
therapy, etc. A single member club, group of member clubs, districts or a state
garden club must sponsor the contest.



Reach out to youth groups already formed or classes at school. Our youth have
been exposed to many different types of gardens. Those that prove to be the
most successful are those that relate to their experiences. If you have or know
of someone who has done an outstanding civic project consider applying for
Award #76, High School Distinguished Service Project under Youth Awards.
