The youth of today are the gardeners of tomorrow.

ROSEY GIRLS YOUTH GARDEN CLUB

Based on guidelines of the Garden Club of North Carolina, we seek to inspire members of our youth garden clubs with a life-long love of gardening and the natural world, not only to improve and maintain our environment but also to share the sheer fun of “digging in the dirt".

The Rosey Girls Youth Garden Club (grades 3 through 6) meets monthly at the Raleigh Girls Club located at 701 N. Raleigh Blvd. (Raleigh). Meetings are usually the first Monday of the month (depending upon holidays) from 4:30 – 6:15 pm.

At our meetings the girls participate in an activity related to gardening. Their Club projects are a bird sanctuary, vegetable garden and a pollinator garden. Other activities include art projects like preparing posters for GCNC and NGC competitions as well as making table favors for RGC and GCNC events.

If you would like to join the fun and help with the Rosey Girls Club, contact one of the RGYGC chairs. 

COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS AND INTERN PROGRAM

The Raleigh Garden Scholarship

An NCSU HORTICULTURE SCHOLARSHIP

The RGC established an endowment that funds yearly scholarships for a deserving student or students in the Dept. of Horticulture at NC State University. Our RGC Scholarship Endowment offers fnancial aid and promotes the study of horticulture.

Each year the club provides a scholarship to at least one student in the Department of Horticulture at NC State University. The RGC Scholarship Fund was endowed at NCSU with generous contributions by the RGC and its individual members. Contributions to the RGC Scholarship Fund are welcome.

This year the endowment fund allowed three $1000 scholarships to be awarded. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences chose the deserving students.

JC RAULSTON ARBORETUM
SUMMER INTERN PROGRAM

The Club contributes funds from our community donations budget to a work/study program for horticulture students to work at the JC Raulston Arboretum during the summer.

This summer’s intern wrote:

Thank you so much for your contribution to the Summer Intern program at JCRA. I’m a rising junior studying Horticulture Science with concentration in landscape design at NC State. I would like to start a community garden around the US or work in an arboretum for my career. This summer has been full of plant ID, lots of mulching, many propagations, and so much fun. Thank you so much for supporting this incredible opportunity, it meant so much.
