National Gardening Association and Home Depot - 2010 Youth Garden
Grants Program

National Garden Association awards Youth Garden Grants to schools and
community organizations with child-centered garden programs. In
evaluating grant applications, priority will be given to programs that
emphasize one or more of these elements: educational focus or
curricular/program integration, nutrition or plant-to-food
connections, environmental awareness/education, entrepreneurship, and
social aspects of gardening such as leadership development, team
building, community support, or service-learning.

Five programs will receive gift cards valued at $1000 and 95 programs
will receive a $500 gift card to The Home Depot and educational
materials. Schools, youth groups, community centers, camps, clubs,
treatment facilities, and intergenerational groups throughout the
United States are eligible. Applicants must plan to garden with at
least 15 children between the ages of 3 and 18 years. Please contact
National Gardening Association and Home Depot for more information and
to apply for this funding.
