The Horticulture Committee meets weekly to learn propagation techniques and grow inventory for our annual May Plant Sale. Proceeds from the sale fund horticulture projects and scholarships. The club started a perpetual scholarship at City College, with annual grants to be given to worthy horticultural students. The initial funding was $5,000 in 1990 and since then an additional $5,000 has been given in increments over the years. At the present time the fund now stands at around $13,000. Each year since the beginning money from the interest has been awarded to two or three students.
