GRANT INFORMATION, GUIDELINES, AND REQUIREMENTS
Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s School Garden Grant Program is designed to fund school garden projects that will educate Florida’s students about the importance of agriculture, healthier meal options and allow teachers to use a school garden to teach Florida standards.
Those who receive funding for a school garden project will need to request a free copy of Gardening for Grades, Gardening for Nutritionand/or STEMming Up Gardening, books for teachers to help them get the most out of their school gardens, including tips on securing funding, planting Florida fruits and vegetables, and using the garden to teach more than a two-dozen lesson plans and activities. A requirement of the grant is that teachers teach at least one lesson from one of FAITC’s three school garden curricula. If none of these lessons work for you, search the National Agriculture in the Classroom Curriculum Matrix.
