LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club has awarded former Middletown High School student Lindee Jones a second $1000 scholarship

Last year the club also awarded Jones its annual $1000 scholarship for a student who desires to further their education in the horticultural or agricultural fields.  

Jones, who graduated from Middletown High School in 2012, attended Shasta Community College this past year.  

During her high school years she was very active in Lake County FFA, 4-H, and High School Rodeo, as well as putting more than 100 hours of her time into community service activities.  

She intends to complete her AA degree in environmental horticulture at Shasta Community College and is also taking classes to prepare her for the pest control advisor exam.  

As part of Jones’ scholarship application to the CLT&TGC, Leimone Waite, a horticultural instructor at Shasta Community College, wrote, “Lindee lives in our farm dorms and is assigned as the student worker to our Horticulture Program’s five greenhouses. She is responsible for the watering and care of the greenhouse plants. Lindee … is always willing to pitch in and participate in the many activities we hold on our college farm. She is a welcome addition to our Horticulture Department and I recommend her highly.”

The CLT&TGC members raise funds for their yearly $1000 scholarship award by making beautiful holiday wreaths out of local, fresh foliage.  

“We are thrilled to again award this scholarship to such a hard working and competent young leader,” said club President Carol Dobusch.

The Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club welcomes new members and more information can be found on their website, www.clttgc.org .

The club meets on the third Tuesday of every month (except July and August) for a lunch and garden-based program at noon at the Scott’s Valley Women’s Clubhouse, 2298 Hendricks Road, Lakeport.

CLT&TGC is a member of Mendo-Lake District, California Garden Club Inc., Pacific Region and National Garden Clubs Inc.
