Scholarships Awarded 



The New Hampshire Plant Growers' 

 Association awarded two $500 scho- 

 larships at its 1998 Winter Meeting. 

 Both recipients are in the Horticul- 

 ture Curriculum of the Thompson 

 School of Applied Sciences, UNH, 

 Durham; both already work in horti- 

 culture in New Hampshire and plan 

 to make some aspect of the horti- 

 cultural field their life's work. 



Christina Elwood, Londonderry, 

 lives on her family's fruit and veg- 

 etable farm and has spent much of 

 life working there. This — and four 

 years studying horticulture in high 

 school — has led her to pursue a ca- 

 reer in the greenhouse business. "1 

 plan to continue working in the 

 family business and expand it by 

 installing many greenhouses, where 

 I would be in charge of running the 

 houses and taking care of the 

 plants Continuing our family busi- 

 ness and providing the public with 

 the best quality products are very 

 important to me." 



NEW HAMPSHIRE NEWS 



Ryan Kuczewski, Deerfield, be- 

 gan working at Van Berkum Nursery 

 about five years ago. He's contin- 

 ued to work there, enjoying being 

 outside and learning about plants 

 and how to care for them properly. 

 "I always knew I wanted to do 

 something in the horticultural field. 

 In the future, I would like to own 

 my own business. At this point, I'm 

 pretty sure I want to have a full 

 landscape company. The more I 

 learn at school, the more I feel it is 

 really important to know as much 

 as possible about running a busi- 

 ness before jumping into one." 



Congratulations We offer both of 

 you best wishes for success in the 

 future. 



A Mountain Landscape 



The New England Wild Flower Soci- 

 ety (NEWFSl and the Appalachian 

 Mountain Club (AMC), two major 

 regional conservation organizations, 

 have joined forces to relandscape 

 sections of AMC's Pinkham Notch 



Visitor Center in Gorham, New 

 Hampshire. The two organizations, 

 with special support from the Wild 

 Flower Society's New Hampshire 

 Chapter, are now involved in the 

 early planning stages. Initial design 

 concepts include wildlife plantings, 

 an educational native plants dis- 

 play using indigenous local species, 

 and a wildflower meadow. Funding 

 is still being sought. 



This is not the first time AMC 

 has worked with the Wild Flower 

 Society in the White Mountains For 

 several years, the Conservation De- 

 partment of the Society has worked 

 with botanists from the White 

 Mountains National Forest and AMC 

 to enhance the populations of the 

 rare alpine, Potentilla robbinsiana, on 

 the slopes of Mount Washington.
