The KidsGardening team is thrilled to announce that we were awarded a USDA Implementation Grant in July 2021 for our “Growing School Food Gardens” (GSFG) Project. Our goal for this project is to use the Kids Garden Community to form a vibrant network devoted to growing school food gardens, cultivating support, and share resources that respond to the needs of the community. We are in the planning phase of this project and were able to gain the perspectives of 542 school garden leaders in a preliminary needs assessment survey. We have compiled the feedback from survey and created a comprehensive Needs Assessment Report.We are also happy to share that we have scheduled our first webinar related to this project. Join this free event for an opportunity to connect with other school food garden educators and share your thoughts on how we can better support your work.
