Applications for the 2013 Muhammad
Ali Center Peace Garden Grant are due by: January 2, 2013. 50 Award
packages are available; award winners receive a gardening package valued over
$500 including: $400 in gardening supplies and $100 for soil amendments and
plants.
The Muhammad Ali Center Peace Garden Grant recognizes and
supports youth gardening programs focused on peace and hunger awareness in the
United States and around the world. Edible gardens in particular provide
opportunities for youth to learn how to nurture and care for other living
things while also learning how to care for themselves. Students gain first-hand
experience through the process of growing food and gaining the skills needed to
increase their access to fruits and vegetables. What better way to create
awareness about hunger than to have them actively involved in growing a garden,
taking food home to their families, and giving to the community.
Through winning programs, students will learn the value of
nutrient rich foods for a healthy lifestyle, while gaining an awareness of
global hunger and the importance of peace as a member of the global community.
Also remember the Annie’s
Homegrown School Gardens grant - $1,500.
