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\u00a0<\/span>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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n
