Beginning August 17th, Whole Kids Foundation School Garden Grant Program will be accepting online applications for school garden grants! In partnership with FoodCorps, Whole Kids Foundation will grant 1000 schools $2000 each to build or expand their school garden.

Experiencing that process for themselves helps kids understand that food comes from plants, and not out of a box or off a truck.
