School Garden Network Grants

Because of generous support from businesses, individuals and organizations, SGN is able to offer two grant programs that help enhance and sustain local school gardens -  Cooking from the Garden, and Garden-Based Education.

Grants are generally offered every other year in January to new applicants.  When we have sufficient funding, we offer multi-year grants under the Garden-Based Education program.  All grantee schools receive financial, material and mentoring support from SGN, and are required to complete progress reports for continued funding.

Our next cycle for new schools to apply will begin January 2013.

Healthy Roots

The School Garden Network is offering, free of charge, a Traveling Nutrition Educator Program to Sonoma County High Schools for the 2011-2012 school year. We will travel to your school and teach our four part nutrition curriculum including a hands on food demonstration.
