SUMMARY:Don Tapio Scholarship Deadline - 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties Master Gardeners Don Tapio Scholarship is named for the man who is the epitome of “paying it forward”. As a young man Don almost had to quit college when his father lost his job at a plywood plant\, but his Professor of Horticulture\, Elwood Walter Kalin Sr\, saved the day by arranging for Don to receive a scholarship from the Washington Federation of Garden Clubs. He went on to a successful 36-year career as a Washington State University extension agent\, never forgetting the garden clubs which helped him in his time of need. He supported local garden clubs and the early Master Gardener program and delivered hundreds of public speaking engagements as a way to say thank you. Though retired\, he continues to support the Olympia Garden Club with trees and cuttings for their annual holiday wreath sales that provide grants to Thurston County communities. \nAmount of Award:\nOne $1000 scholarship annually \nScholarship Application (expired) \nApplication must be by postmarked May 1\, 2020 or dropped off at the WSU Extension Grays Harbor County office. \nApplicants need to submit all completed documents to the WSU Grays Harbor County WSU Extension office. \nDrop off address:\nWSU Extension Grays Harbor County\n34 Elma McCleary Road\nElma\, WA 98541 \nMailing address:\nWSU Extension Grays Harbor Count\nPO Box 3018\nElma\, WA 98541-3018 \nThe application period runs from February 1\, 2020 to May 1\, 2020.

Evidence of noncompliance may be reported through your local WSU Extension office. \nCooperating agencies: Washington State University\, U.S. Department of Agriculture\, and Grays Harbor County.

SUMMARY:1st Saturday - Gardening While Aging
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to get to work putting your garden to bed for the winter.  But are your muscles feeling a little stiff\, your knees a little sore\, and the strength required to tackle this task causing you to pause and question your abilities?  Then you might want to join the Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties Master Gardeners at this 1st Saturday workshop where we’ll be discussing gardening while aging. \nThe event takes place Saturday\, November 2nd. Presentations are scheduled from 10:00 to 11:00 AM\, followed by questions/answers and discussion until Noon at the Grays Harbor County Extension Office\, 34 Elma McCleary Road\, in Elma. The Extension office is co-located with the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds. As always\, registration is free along with parking. \nMaster Gardeners have some great information to share about helpful ergonomic tools\, techniques\, and tricks to make gardening more enjoyable and accessible as we age.  Gardening is great exercise but unless you’re a faithful participant\, it can result in aches and pains.  Presenters will show you how to avoid those problems using proper pruning shears\, shovels\, and extendable handles\, just to name a few tools. Making the garden more accessible will be another topic of conversation you won’t want to miss.   \nAnd it’s always important to remember the Master Gardener’s motto\, “Right Plant\, Right Place.”  They will help you develop an eye for plants that will work best for your circumstances and introduce you to some plants you may not be know. And there is always time for your questions and comments.  Come prepared to be re-energized in creating the garden of your dreams – at any age!

SUMMARY:2019 Master Gardener Don Tapio Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:The Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties Master Gardeners Don Tapio Scholarship is named for the man who is the epitome of “paying it forward”. As a young man Don almost had to quit college when his father lost his job at a plywood plant\, but his Professor of Horticulture\, Elwood Walter Kalin Sr\, saved the day by arranging for Don to receive a scholarship from the Washington Federation of Garden Clubs. He went on to a successful 36-year career as a Washington State University extension agent\, never forgetting the garden clubs which helped him in his time of need. He supported local garden clubs and the early Master Gardener program and delivered hundreds of public speaking engagements as a way to say thank you. Though retired\, he continues to support the Olympia Garden Club with trees and cuttings for their annual holiday wreath sales that provide grants to Thurston County communities. \nAmount of Award:\nOne $1000 scholarship annually \nScholarship Application (expired) \nApplication must be by postmarked May 1\, 2019 or dropped off at the WSU Extension Grays Harbor County office.
