The Learning from the Ground Up Garden Grant Program seeks to connect small-scale gardening to farming operations, so students understand food production. Qualifying projects will provide students with hands-on, experiential learning about agriculture through the funding of a new garden project or improvements to an existing garden or greenhouse. Aquaponic and hydroponic systems are eligible if they are used to teach food production.
Teachers are encouraged to think outside the box and adapt programs to fit their current classroom environment, which could include container gardens and much more.
