Description
This funding opportunity supports the creation and implementation of community gardens in rural and tribal communities across North Dakota. The goal is to enhance access to healthy foods, increase physical activity, improve mental well-being, foster social connection, promote environmental sustainability, and provide economic relief through collaborative gardening projects. Eligible projects must demonstrate best practices in garden planning, community engagement, sustainability, and measurable health outcomes. Both new and expanded garden initiatives are eligible, provided they do not duplicate existing funding.
