Deadline: 01-Mar-2024
The Whole Kids Foundation is currently accepting applications for its Garden Grant program.
Kids who grow veggies, eat veggies, so school gardens can make a big difference. Through their Garden Grant program, schools and non-profit organizations turn outdoor spaces into powerful hands-on learning gardens that connect kids with food, spark their curiosity and support classroom curriculum.
At Whole Kids, they know that the more kids know and feel connected to their food, the more curious they become about how things grow or taste, and the more willing they are to try new foods. This is why they believe in edible garden learning spaces!
