The Countryside Garden Club works with MCC to award a scholarship to student(s) who are in the horticultural department studies. This includes plant related biological science, earth science, agriculture, agrarian science and landscaping.

Money raised for scholarships comes from our annual plant sale held at the end of May. We will hopefully in the future have mini fundraisers tied to special programs presented to our members. Look for these events on our calendar of events tab or follow us on our Facebook page.
