Gardening scholarship Blenheim Toyota By Adam Poulopoulos Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology student Rose Baylis has become the inaugural winner of the Garden Marlborough scholarship. Baylis was recognised as one of several scholarship recipients at a ceremony at NMIT on Friday afternoon. The money will help Rose complete the 18 months she has remaining to achieve Level 4 in her horticulture studies at NMIT. She has already completed a lot of practical work in the NMIT student nursery, and is working on a project to restore native trees to Momorangi Bay, after they were lost due to farming. Rose says her journey into gardening has been a gradual process. “I first started because my granddad was doing it when I was little, then my friends of an older nature liked it and it evolved into my own garden, and now I’m teaching my own kids.” Garden Marlborough committee member Lucy Trolove says Rose “ticked every box” they were looking for in an applicant. Garden Marlborough president Tim Crawford says the scholarship provided a “wonderful opportunity” for people like Rose.

“She really epitomises everything Garden Marlborough is all about. “It’s great to support NMIT because our inaugural president was the late Ralph Ballinger, who owned the land around here (NMIT.)” The funds for the scholarship were raised at the cocktail party held at last year’s Garden Marlborough event.

2015 Stage Challenge Marlborough Girls’ College and Bohally Intermediate were both on stage, but it was Garin College who took out top honours at the 2015 Stage Challenge in Blenheim last week. MGC’s presentation, ‘The Perfect Illusion,’ revolved around china and rag dolls, and the perception of beauty, while Bohally’s performance, ‘The Story of Nga Kapa Ora,’ related to the earth’s elements, and related them to achieving balance.
