The Environmental Center’s Garden for Every School Program announces their annual garden grants are available. The goal of the small grant program is to provide local funding for public and private Pre K – 12 schools in Central Oregon to build or support a school garden. Gardens can be indoors, or an outdoor classroom, depending on the needs and goals of each school. Grants up to $1,500 available, plus an opportunity for one up to $3,000 grant!
Applications are available online at envirocenter.org/schoolgardens (under the Garden Grant tab) and the deadline is December 10th, 2021.
A first step to developing any school garden is to create your team. Check out the School Garden Development Best Practices Guide to get you started.
