This is a great opportunity for students interested in studying horticulture science, landscape design, ornamental horticulture, nursery management, golf course management, or other related programs in horticulture. The scholarship recipient may attend the college or university of choice. We need your assistance to promote this scholarship. Ornamental horticulture is increasing in popularity across the US and in Tennessee. The estimated value of the horticulture industry in Tennessee is over $400 million and is increasing at a steady pace.

The Middle Tennessee Nursery Association recognizes the need for proper training in horticulture and is willing to invest to help students in this area. I am thanking you in advance for any assistance you can provide in making your students aware of this scholarship opportunity. Please visit our website at http://www.mtna.com .
