"Growing with Children"
Garden Grant Program

This program is designed to assist those working with children in our communities in Niagara, Florence County in WI, and Iron and Dickinson County in MI., to create gardening projects for young people. 

Who Should Apply:  Schools, youth groups, community centers, daycares, scout groups, and/or any organization that supports gardening with children (ages 3-21).  Preference will be given to grant applications involving 10 or more children. 

Each "Growing with Children" grant recipient will receive  $25 up to  $250 to purchase supplies needed for their gardening project.  In addition, the grant recipients must consult with member(s) of the Glacial Gardeners Master Gardener group in the planning, teaching and/or implementation of the grant project.
