Whole Kids Foundation launches Garden Grant Program (US and Canada)

Deadline: 5-Mar-25

The Whole Kids Foundation has launched the Garden Grant Program.

Through the Garden Grant program, schools turn outdoor spaces into powerful hands-on learning gardens that connect kids with food, spark their curiosity and support classroom curriculum.

At Whole Kids, they know that the more kids know and feel connected to their food, the more curious they become about how things grow or taste, and the more willing they are to try new foods. This is why they believe in edible garden learning spaces!
