Faculty of Science Dean’s Special Award of Merit

Friends of the GardenThe Friends of the Garden is an all volunteer group whose energies are directed at enriching the lives, of not only members of the Faculty of Science, but the University community as a whole. In addition to planting and maintaining several gardens around campus, the Friends share their bounties with the community via their annual plant sale. The proceeds of these plant sales enrich the lives of our students, as over the past 16 years, the Friends have given out $37,000 in bursaries to 37 undergraduate students. It is for these contributions that we award the Friends of the Gardens the Dean’s Special Award of Merit.
