NHLA: Scholarships . . . 



Two students from the Thompson 

 School, University of New Hamp- 

 shire, have won scholarships from 

 the New Hampshire Landscape As- 

 sociation. Kathleen Carter and Ryan 

 Kuczewski were each awarded $1500 

 at the association's annual spring 

 conference in March. 



After careers in teaching, real es- 

 tate, and retail, Kathleen is return- 

 ing to an earlier interest in her 

 study of horticulture. "With a de- 



gree in horticulture, plants and 

 gardening will have prominence in 

 my life, regardless of the corner of 

 the world in which I find myself," 

 she said. 



Ryan, also a horticulture tech- 

 nology major, got his first job, at a 

 wholesale nursery, when he was 

 thirteen. "All I usually did was un- 

 load trucks that were full of soil 

 bags. After awhile 1 started filling 

 pots and putting plants into them. 

 This is what started to interest me. 

 1 liked working with the plants and 

 wanted to know more about them." 



. . . and Pearson Awards 



Also at the NHLA spring confer- 

 ence, the 1998 Leon E. Pearson 

 Awards for Landscape Excellence 

 were presented. 



The Award for Excellence (for 

 consistently superior quality) went to 



Homestead Landscaping Co., Inc. 

 (Frank Todd, principal), of Rowley, 

 Massachusetts, for a residential de- 

 sign in York, Maine. 



The Merit Award (for outstanding 

 work) went to Thomas Berger of 

 Green Art, Portsmouth, New Hamp- 

 shire, for the design for a residential 

 town garden in Portsmoutli. 



The Honor Award (for a project 

 deserving high praise and recogni- 

 tion) was presented to Three Seasons 

 Landscaping (Rick Rideout, princi- 

 pal), Hopkinton, New Hampshire, 

 for the design of a hered garden en- 

 trance for a private residence in Con- 

 cord, New Hampshire. 



The projects involved much more 

 than planting; with the designers 

 dealing with such things as drainage, 

 surface runoff, ocean exposure, deer 

 damage, traffic patterns, roots, and 

 the whims of their clients, the 

 awards seem deserved.
