Scholarships

The Cedar Creek Lake Garden Club’s mission is to help beautify our lake area communities and to support teaching the art and science of gardening. Proceeds from our annual Cedars and Cinnamon Home Tour benefit our Beautification Grant and Scholarship Programs. Beautification Grants are awarded to local non-profits around the lake—such as churches, schools, and cities—who need assistance with beautification and garden initiatives. Scholarships are awarded to local High School seniors who are pursuing a horticulture related degree in college.
