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

Description: Kids and vegetables have a special connection.  This popular garden project would bring them closer than ever.  With this hands-on approach to gardening, students can appreciate the value of proper watering, harvesting and eating of fine vegetables.

Layout: Fall is best for certain varieties, so careful selection can assure reasonable success.  Good soil preparation is also essential for optimum yield.  Planting in rows will assist in irrigating.  As prescribed in other garden projects, a hose is best suited to the task; however, if available, an existing irrigation connection can reduce the manual labor of watering.

Timing: September into October 

Limited horticultural assistance will be provided upon request.
