School Garden Grants Available Now!

For all those interested in school gardens,

School gardens are a great connection to farm to school. The California Instructional School Garden funding through the California Department of Education has been finalized. The program makes available two different non-competitive grants to support garden-based education. Equipment and supplies grants and professional development grants are available to eligible California public schools.

More information and the application can be downloaded at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/fo/r9/cisg06rfa.asp

These non-competitive grants are available on a first come first served basis, so if you are interested in receiving funds to support a garden in your school you should act quickly.
