The program is designed to foster hands-on learning and environmental stewardship by helping schools and youth organizations establish and maintain educational spaces focused on native plants. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) highlights this opportunity but does not administer the funds; the program is managed externally, with official details and application hosted by the Wild Ones organization.
