Growing Our Industry, Together.

Our mission is to invest in the future of horticulture
by providing scholarships that support Washington

students studying in the fields of horticulture, floriculture

or landscape and by creating pathways for career

placement and development.  

On average, the WSNLA Scholarship Fund awards 

$20,000 annually. We count on generous donors – like you –

to help continue this important work.

Give Today. Grow Tomorrow.
