History of Paul Hendricks Award

   The award is given annually to the person or persons demonstrating exceptional leadership, educational

outreach, and service to the mission of the Master Gardeners of St. Charles County. 

  It was first given and named for Paul Hendricks. 

Paul initiated several foundational changes including a vision to transform the entire Extension Center campus into a demonstration garden and an enhanced focus on community education.   

At that time a small garden existed around the flag pole and demonstration soybean fields were planted

in the location of the pantry garden and holding beds.  That was soon to change.  Paul rolled up his

sleeves leading the way to re-design our first garden the flag pole garden, teaching community classes,

and involving members in planning committees. He along with several other dedicated Master Gardeners who have since received the award, transformed our local club into a passionate and visionary group. 

 

That spirit continues today and is recognized by this award.
