Description
The Youth Garden Grant, highlighted by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), provides funding to schools for establishing, sustaining, or renewing school and community gardens. The primary aim is to foster youth engagement in gardening through hands-on, garden-based educational experiences, supporting both the creation of new gardens and the maintenance or revitalization of existing ones. While FDACS promotes this opportunity to Florida schools, the grant itself is managed externally by KidsGardening, and all official program information, eligibility requirements, and application procedures are hosted on the KidsGardening website.
