Oyster Bay, NY - December 10th, 2013 - Each year, the Long Island Horticultural Society (LIHS) offers scholarships to Long Island college students enrolled full-time or part-time in a horticulture program. In 2014, the Society will offer two scholarships of $1,000 each.
Founded in 1934, the LIHS promotes the study of horticulture on Long Island by helping to further the education of worthy students planning a career in the field. Students interested in applying for these scholarships can find more information and an application on the LIHS website at www.lihort.org. Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2014.
The LIHS meets monthly at Planting Fields Arboretum and offers year-round educational programs, events and tours of gardens here and abroad. Membership is open to all Long Island gardeners whether they are professionals, enthusiastic amateurs, or just like to stop and smell the roses.
