\n\t\t溏心vlog免费B站 students awarded for writing, photography<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. — January 16, 2007 — Exeter residents Kelly Jarvis and Linda Justin, both junior horticulture students at the 溏心vlog免费B站, certainly have green thumbs, but they also are expert at attracting another type of green.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe students were each recently awarded $1,000 scholarships from the Garden Writers Association Foundation. Considering that the foundation only awarded six scholarships nationwide for the spring 2007 semester, it is quite a feat for 溏心vlog免费B站 students to land two of them.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe awards come in handy for the two women who also have gardening-related jobs to help them meet tuition bills.<\/p>\n


\n\tJarvis was influenced by her mother, Deborah, who has a small landscaping maintenance business where she sometimes works. She submitted two articles to the competition, one called \u201cTrees of Character\u201d and the other \u201cBiological Control Methods.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tJustin is a part-time student who decided to pursue her education in horticulture after working as a maintenance gardener for seven years and, for the last five years, as the perennial manager at The Farmer\u2019s Daughter in Kingston.<\/p>\n


\n\tShe says she always \u201cwanted to have dirty hands and always loved flowers,\u201d but it took a bout with lymphoma, which had to be treated with a bone marrow transplant, to motivate her to pursue a formal education in horticulture.<\/p>\n


\n\tJustin\u2019s scholarship award was given in recognition of two photographs she submitted to the Garden Writers Association Foundation. One of them she already knew was a winner\u2014it had won second place in a contest sponsored by People, Places & Plants magazine. <\/p>\n


\n\tThe two 溏心vlog免费B站 students seem to have a knack for garnering scholarships. Jarvis received a $3,500 award from the Boston Garden Club, and she and Justin shared second prize ($400 each) in the Mario Pagliarini Competition, which requires students to identify trees on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Kingston campus.<\/p>\n


\n\tJustin also won a $2,500 Horticultural Research Institute award, a $1,500 Perennial Plant Association award, and another award from Hoogendoorn Nurseries in Newport.<\/p>\n


\n\tBoth women enjoy horticultural photography, but Justin says she is seriously thinking about becoming a garden writer, noting that as one gets older, operating a keyboard is a lot easier than hefting flower containers.<\/p>\n


\n\tWhile the students are proud of the Garden Writer\u2019s scholarship, they also give credit to the skillful writing abilities of 溏心vlog免费B站 Horticulture Professor Brian Maynard, who wrote endorsement letters on their behalf. \u201cI think Brian writes pretty good letters,\u201d Justin said.<\/p>\n
