Pinehurst Garden Club Horticultural Scholarship

The Pinehurst Garden Club is organized for the purpose of encouraging home and community horticultural improvements. Since its founding in 1981, the Pinehurst Garden Club has participated in numerous village beautification projects. Members assist in the Village Spring and Fall plantings and decorating at Christmas time. Each branch of the Pinehurst Garden club also participates in various beautification projects year-around. In 1989 the club established the Memorial Garden in the center of the village using proceeds from their annual fund raiser, the Spring Plant Sale. Today the club has 120 members in five branches (Dogwood, Magnolia, Holly, Pine and Azalea) that meet independently each month between September and May.

In addition the Pinehurst Garden Club supports civic causes including the funding of an annual scholarship for a deserving Sandhills Community College horticultural student. Established in 1998, the Pinehurst Garden Club Scholarship is typically awarded to the top second year student in the Landscape Gardening Program.
