Kensington Garden Club Awards $1,500 to the 2025 Scholarship Winner

 

Each year, the Kensington Garden Club presents a scholarship to a student interested in majoring in one of the following fields of study: agronomy, botany, conservation, forestry, environmental control, horticulture, landscape design, land management, or plant science and related fields. This year the club is proud to announce our scholarship winner is John Platt, a recent Berlin High School graduate. John has already shown his commitment to stewardship of the environment by becoming a “Leave No Trace” instructor and forming a Wilderness Club at Berlin High School. John was inspired by the research of Bill Mollison in self-sustainable, resilient agriculture known as permaculture. He lead a research team at the high school which will utilize similar horticultural techniques to enhance nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fixation;  thereby improving local soil conditions in an environmentally friendly way. John put his experience in greenhouse management and plant cultivation to practical use by partnering with a hospitality group to grow an array of plants needed for their business operation. Through these, and other endeavors, it is clear that John Platt is an outstanding leader, student and advocate for our environment. John will be attending Bowdoin College in Maine this fall, where he will continue his studies in biology with a concentration in conservation.The Kensington Garden Club congratulates John on receiving our $1,500 scholarship, and wishes him the best in his future studies.
