School Garden Grants
- Kids Gardening offers grants to schools across the US to help them start or grow their school gardens. These grants cover costs like tools, materials, and educational resources. By supporting hands-on learning and environmental awareness, Kids Gardening aims to create engaging outdoor spaces where students can learn and connect with nature. The grants also provide resources and guidance to help schools effectively integrate gardening into their curriculum.
