Lake County >>The Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club (CLT&TGC) has awarded $5,400 to student youth gardens and scholarships from proceeds from their “Hidden Gardens of Clear Lake” garden tour.
Lindee Jones, of Middletown, and Blair Brooks, of Kelseyville each received $1,000 scholarship for their continued education related to agriculture/horticulture. Eight student youth gardens, located in Kelseyville, Lower Lake, Lakeport and Upper Lake, received $400 each.
Co-chairs Susan Buckles and Debra O’Dell said that this was the first time the club has organized a garden tour. They wanted to feature the beauty of the area and encourage interest in gardening as well as share success by giving back to the community through scholarships and supporting youth gardens,
Club members are already in the planning stage for their spring 2016 garden tour.
