NHPGA Scholarship Awards 



At every New Hampshire Plant 

 Growers Association summer meet- 

 ing, there is an auction of items 

 contributed by the trade show ven- 

 dors. The proceeds go to the 

 NHPGA scholarship fund. This 

 year, two $750 scholarships have 

 been awarded to two students at- 

 tending the University of New 

 Hampshire. 



Edward Belliveau is a junior in 

 the Department of Plant Biology. 

 He has worked at Demers Garden 

 Center since his senior year in 

 high school. "In the future, I plan 

 to finish my college degree, con- 

 tinue working in an educational 

 environment, proceed to graduate 

 school to become more advanced 



in a specific field of plant biology, 

 and eventually enter a career in 

 the same field." 



Lyndsey Loring is a full-time stu- 

 dent at the Thompson School ma- 

 joring in floriculture. "Completely 

 self-sufficient," she also works at the 

 Dover Day Care Learning Center, a 

 non-profit United Way agency, as 

 bookkeeper and fund-raiser. In 

 1996, she began to take business 

 classes through UNH continuing 

 education; she enrolled full-time in 

 the Thompson School a year later. 

 Her long-term goal is to become a 

 floral design shop and greenhouse 

 owner/operator while continuing to 

 pursue her passion for horticulture 

 and business. "By choosing me as a 

 recipient of your scholarship, you 

 will be helping a young woman with 



motivation and determination to 

 continue as an asset to the horticul- 

 ture industry through creative, pro- 

 ductive, and innovative growing and 

 design." 



Congratulations. Edward and 

 Lyndsey will receive their awards 

 at the winter meeting.
