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

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. (The Mantis Award is also open to non-youth organizations.)

Please note that starting with the 2006/2007 grant cycle, all grant winners are required to complete a year-end impact report (see individual grants for details).
