Meet the Third Vice-President Elizabeth Lester

My gardening skills prior to leaving my home economics teaching position in the Richmond area and moving to Southwest Virginia consisted of a few tried and true house plants However when my mother who was an avid gardener came to visit us (me my husband and my son) in Southwest Virginia she helped foster my gardening skills My mother shared plants from her own garden but the growing zone of Tidewater where I grew up was far different from the growing zone of Southwest Virginia The crepe myrtle gardenia and rooted camellias she helped me plant were not very happy in Southwest Virginia


Since those plants I had loved growing up did not flourish in my new location I needed additional gardening education I wanted like many of you to hone my gardening skills and have fellowship with others who shared my gardening enthusiasm I was invited to join a garden club

Through the years as a garden club member I have enjoyed my club and district friendships and activities I even worked with some of you through my State chairmanships These next two years it will be my pleasure to serve in the capacity of 3rd Vice President of VFGC I hope I can depend upon you to join me in promoting membership in the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs VFGC has lots to offer

ldquoKEYS TO THE FUTURErdquo Scholarship Awards for 2013-2014

The VFGC Scholarship program continues to gain interest amongst schools and students 2012 was a fantastic Scholarship year for us VFGC awarded $1000000 to 6 students attending 4 different Universities Our SAR applicant Chelsea Gusler competed against the applicants from other states in the region and was awarded the Corrie Whitlock Memorial Scholarship for 2012 and our nominee for the NGC Scholarship Johanna Cricenti earned that $350000 award as well

We continue to up our game in encouraging schools to help us identify the best qualified and deserving students by contacting and sending information packets to several Virginia schools We received 5 applications this year competing for our VFGC Scholarships The qualifications of each applicant matched up very nicely to our Scholarship criteria but we were anxious that the VFGC Finance Committee would not be able to fund 5 awards in the amounts we have in the past With low rates of interest and limited donations requesting $200000 for each Scholarship seemed out of reach Somehow our Finance Committee found the funds and I am excited to report that all 5 Scholarships have been awarded at $200000 each for 2013


We proudly announce the following awards for the 2013-2014 school term

Chelsea Gusler from Dublin VA a rising senior at Virginia Tech triple majoring in Horticulture Family Health Science and Nutrition and Bio-Chemistry has been awarded the Presidentrsquos Horticulture Scholarship

Colleen Beard from Vinton VA a rising senior at Virginia Tech majoring in Environmental Horticulture has been awarded the Minna D Adams Scholarship

Emily Gibbs from Crewe VA a rising Junior at University of Mary Washington double majoring in Environmental Science and Spanish has been awarded the Rita M Costello Scholarship

Lucas Tyree from Lexington VA a graduate student majoring in Environmental Science at Yale University has been awarded the Thelma W Utt Scholarship

Grey Elam from Charlottesville VA a graduate student at University of Virginia majoring in Landscape Architecture has been awarded the Peg Grinus Landscape Design Scholarship

The Scholarship Committee is very proud to announce that in addition to a VFGC Scholarship Lucas Tyree was awarded a $350000 NGC Scholarship for 2013 Unfortunately our SAR applicant also very promising was not selected for the Corrie Whitlock Memorial Scholarship

It is the honor of the VFGC Scholarship Committee to consider these wonderful applications and to have the ability to make these valuable awards

Please review the WinterSpring 2013 ODG for new opportunities designed for our members to honor special people while providing funding for these extremely impactful awards We continue to receive funding from Life Memberships and the Dogwood Society but additional funding is needed The next time you or your club wants to exhibit gratitude to someone special please consider one of the donation opportunities outlined in the and give generously What a fantastic way to honor someone and strongly impact the life of a deserving young person at the same time

FOR THE LOVE OF BUTTERFLIES submitted by Donna Cottingham Butterfly Chairman

If you have ever noticed that something in your herb garden seems to be

devouring your dill parsley or fennel you may be inadvertently boosting the Eastern Black Swallowtail population Butterflies are very specific about choosing the host plant on which to lay their eggs Female Black Swallowtails will only lay eggs on dill fennel parsley or Queen Annersquos lace Nothing else will suffice In

preparation for the task of metamorphosis caterpillars become eating machines and several of them together may devour an entire plant In order to support butterflies and have enough herbs for your own use try planting extra for sharing If you are interested in attracting butterflies to your flower garden plant the herbs among your flowers and watch what happens You should be able to witness the complete butterfly life cycle in only a few weeks
