These are for schools and community organizations with child-centered garden
programs. In evaluating grant applications, priority will be given to programs
that emphasize one or more of these elements:
- educational focus or curricular/program integration
- nutrition or plant-to-food connections
- environmental awareness/education
- entrepreneurship
- social aspects of gardening such as leadership development, team building, community support, or service-learning.
Five winners will receive gift cards valued at $1,000, and 95 winners will receive $500 gift cards, for the purchase of gardening materials and supplies specific to the needs of their program from their local Home Depot store. All winners get educational materials from the sponsors: the National Gardening Association.
