School Garden Grant ApplicationS
Our School Food Garden Grant was a funding opportunity that existed from 2017 to 2022 within the Region of Waterloo. We would like to thank all schools who applied for a grant, and are delighted to have been able to support the development and growth of 47 gardens during that time.
As of July 2022, this project has officially come to an end. Moving forward, we will be focusing on how best to support the sustainability of the 47 gardens within our network.
Please be in touch with schoolgardens@youthinfoodsystems.ca with any questions.
