Patrick A. Nutt was a horticultural icon at Longwood Gardens, where he worked from 1957 until 1995. He was an inspiration to thousands of students, a consummate plantsman, and he garnered an international reputation for his work with aquatic plants. Even after his employment, Patrick continued to volunteer, mentor and inspire the Longwood community. To honor the life and legacy of Patrick A. Nutt, his friends and colleagues have created the Patrick A. Nutt Endowed Scholarship Fund.
To honor Patrick’s passion for horticulture education, the endowed scholarship will support participants of Longwood’s International Internship and Training Programs. The scholarship will assist with funding travel costs for these participants and help imbue these emerging professionals with Patrick’s boundless vision, enthusiasm and lasting impact.
