Grant Name:
School Garden Grants
Funded by:
Whole Kids Foundation
Description: School gardens are a vital educational tool.
Every seed planted sprouts a new opportunity for kids to cultivate healthy
eating habits. Teaching kids to garden helps them learn about complex topics
like sustainability and conservation, food systems and community awareness. Not
to mention an appreciation for food from seed to plate. Learning about the
process of growing food helps children develop a deep understanding of the
connection between healthy eating and a healthy body. School gardens offer an
opportunity to integrate math, science and health curriculum into a dynamic,
interactive setting. They also provide a base of knowledge that allows children
to take an active role in healthy food choices. School garden grant
applications will be accepted through 5pm CST, December 31, 2012.
