Yes ma’am, my apologies. Below is the link that I sent previously. The application window does not close until January 31.

Landon,

 

This as caught in spam because of strange links, etc.  Could you send me a cleaned up version?  I feel like there are schools that would be interested.

 

thanks,

Good afternoon,

 

This grant for school gardens just came across my email and I thought it would be good information to push out to all of the schools within area 6.
