Online applications for SEE garden grant awards in January 2010 are currently being accepted. Applications must be submitted by Tuesday, December 01, 2009.
Funding is provided by the Northern
Environmental Support Trust (NEST) and is available to Minnesota schools only.
There are two forms of the grant, Request A and Request B. Please
read the descriptions below and view the separate applications to decide which plan
best suits your needs:
- Request A - offers a
prescribed garden (sort of garden by numbers!) for teachers without gardening experience
or who will not have a lot of help. The plan is easy to follow and the plant species
are hardy and drought resistant. Teachers are able to request specific gardening
tools and curriculum to support their use of the garden. All plants will be available
for pick-up at the University of Minnesota around the first week of May
2010.
- Request B - is for teachers
who want to design their own garden, enhance an existing garden, or better use an
existing garden through the purchase of equipment or curriculum. This proposal invites
you to use your creativity and knowledge about gardening to tailor the request for
your specific needs.
