BC School Garden Grants

 

BC school garden grants make all the difference in the start up, maintenance and enjoyment of a school garden. Grants and funds from sponsors are often necessary to run outdoor classrooms and garden programs. And with school budgets so tight, it is all but impossible to get extra money for the supplies needed to run an effective school garden program. The Classroom Gardener helps schools access funds to support garden development in their school. Information below is subject to change and The Classroom Gardener can not guarantee that grant applicants will be successful in their applications. Please contact us if you would like advice with your application. A clear and well considered plan will make your application more desirable to reviewers.
