SCHOLARSHIPS & GRANTS
- CELEBRATING 100 YEARS -
Floretum offers grants to Edmonds teachers for school gardens and
scholarships for students. The proceeds come from our annual plant sale and boutique held the first saturday in May. Members donate perennials, bulbs, herbs, annuals, small trees and shrubs, container gardens and other garden-related items to sell to the public.
Floretum provides scholarships to at least two horticulture students each year.
