The National Gardening Association works with sponsoring companies and organizations to provide in-kind grants to projects that actively engage kids in the garden and improve the quality of life for their communities.

These programs provide gift certificates for seeds and materials for garden programs that actively engage kids in gardening and the connection between plants and food.

Deadline: October 17 for Health Sprouts and November 2 for Youth Garden grants.To be eligible for these awards your school or organization must plan to garden with at least 15 kids between the ages of 3 and 18. (Mantis Awards are also open to non-youth organizations.)For information, see:
