Voots® "Get Kids Growing" Garden Grants
Voots® Veggie-Fruit Tarts and Kidsgardening.org are proud to present the Voots® "Get Kids Growing" Garden Grants, providing 20 youth garden programs with the necessary supplies and support to grow edible gardens. 20 schools will be selected based on plans to promote nutrition education, ideas for incorporating fruit and vegetable activities into the curriculum, and ability to sustain the program over multiple years.
The program is open to schools in the U.S. who intend to garden with at least 15 children between the ages of 3 and 12.
Grant Packages: 20 grant recipients receive $700 in gardening supplies including a raised bed, tools, and a curriculum guide from the Gardening with Kids Shop, and a check for $50 to be used to purchase soil amendments and fruit and vegetable plantings. The total award package is valued at over $750.
