Supporting School Gardens in Our Communities
Openlands provides schools in our network with hands-on support in developing and maintaining their school garden teams or their existing school gardens. This support grant is to assist schools in keeping their gardens activated as living laboratories for students and spaces for the school to connect with their surrounding community. Schools that are chosen receive a $1,000 grant to be used to support their school gardens. In addition, schools that are chosen to receive the Openlands Garden Support Grant will also receive the following:
- Support with Garden Team check-ins
- Support with garnering community support of the garden, by asset mapping and connecting with community organizations
- Help with facilitating up to 3 garden sessions with students, parents, and/or community members.
- A scholarship for someone from your garden team to attend the Openlands TreeKeepers Course.
Eligibility
