School Gardening Grant 
Garden Example: Herb Garden        other Gardens      Application for Grant

Description: Numerous species of herbs offer cooks delight, and when combined with water conservation, offer a unique insight.   Readily available in small containers, this herb garden project can be managed without difficulty.

Layout: Most herbs are suited to container growth and would favor being grown in existing raised beds or, if limited on space, can also be  planted in clay or wooden pots.  Partial shade is required initially, but once established, in the winter months full sun shouldn’t be a problem.

Irrigation: Irrigations can be specific to particular species so careful attention must be made to frequency and depth.  Well-drained containers also assist in removal of salts and excess water.  Beware when connecting  to existing irrigation systems with incompatible irrigation schedules. 

Timing: Late fall into winter.

Limited horticultural assistance will be provided upon request.
