Holly Scholz from the Class of 1998 invited local alumni\u00a0and Ford Scholars to join her at the OSU Extension\u00a0Master Gardeners Plant Sale in Eugene on Saturday, April\u00a018. <\/p>\n

Class of 1997 alumna Diana Barkelew readily agreed\u00a0to help out, saying she loved gardening. Alumna and\u00a0Ford Scholarship Office Administrative Associate Shauna\u00a0Harper from the Class of 2007 joined them on a beautiful\u00a0sunny morning.<\/p>\n

Current University of Oregon Ford Scholars Robin Hill\u00a0and Kadyn Nguyen also volunteered. Hill, an art major,\u00a0happily painted kids\u2019 faces in the Kids\u2019 Zone while Nguyen\u00a0and the others worked tallying sales and running the\u00a0holding area during the busiest time of the plant sale.
\nWhen the sale slowed down in the early afternoon,\u00a0the volunteers took their turn browsing the array of\u00a0healthy starter plants for their own gardens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
