Scholarships.

The Sharon Garden Club awards two $750 scholarships each year to local graduating seniors. The Scholarship honors the memory of a woman who loved both flowers and her students; Eleanor Edwards. Eleanor was President of the Sharon Garden Club from 1986 to 1988 and served as the Secretary for many years. She was a music teacher at the Cottage Street School and taught piano. She enjoyed chairing the Scholarship Committee to continue helping students after her retirement.
