Cindy Ericksen, Alice McElroy, Diane Ross and Bill Wrobel were presented the Golden Trowel Award by the Clallam County Master Gardener Foundation on Aug. 1 at the foundation’s Woodcock Demonstration Garden.

The Golden Trowel Award is presented annually to Master Gardeners who have been active in the organization for more than five years, dedicated more than 750 hours of volunteer time and demonstrated outstanding service in promoting education and environmental stewardship, according to Lorrie Hamilton, coordinator of the Washington State University Clallam County Master Gardener program.

Each honoree received an engraved rock paver that has been installed in a pathway at the Woodcock Demonstration Garden in Sequim along with the 75 previous award recipients.
