Be A Steward of the Earth – Grants for Garden Clubs
We have all seen the negative impact man has had on the environment in air and water pollution, and loss of bird, animal, and insect populations. We need to change the pattern so that we create a healthier environment for future generations. The goal of this Grant Program is to encourage Garden Clubs and their members to find ways to change this pattern. What are some good examples of sustainability projects?• Avoid the use of plastic to keep the oceans clean.• Planting trees to help protect the environment.• Removing invasive species.• Shrinking lawns and leaving leaves.• Planting native plants to provide habitats for beneficial insects and the food web.• Responsible consumption and production: Recycling items such as paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum.• Planting community gardens.• Growing and donating excess produce to local food banks.• Educational programs for the community. Who Can ApplyGarden clubs affiliated with FGCMD can apply for funds to support projects that will advance sustainability in their homes/communities. The minimum grant request is $100, maximum $1,000.
