Proceeds from the garden tour will benefit the Club's Lib Thieme scholarship fund. The Green Mountain Gardeners awards a $1,000 scholarship annually to a graduating senior planning to further his or her education with either college or vocational study. The field of study could be environmental sciences, landscape design, agriculture or other related to the mission of the Green Mountain Gardeners. Eligible students will be a graduate from one of the designated local schools. Selection is based on financial need and potential school and community impact.
This scholarship is made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Elizabeth Thieme who was a founding member of the Green Mountain Gardeners. "Lib"was an innovative and “hands-on” gardener who loved life and especially the company of young people.
