Grant Money Available for Community Gardens with Pollinator Emphasis

Bees, butterflies and other pollinators need more habitat and you can help by planting blooms to attract and feed these unsung heroes. For generations, we've enjoyed helping gardeners create their own vibrant outdoors spaces and we believe by working together now we can protect pollinators in

need of food and shelter. It's our promise to lend a hand as you plant your own pollinator garden, apply for a community pollinator grant or support a pollinator organization.

The Scotts MiracleGro Company GRO1000 showcase grant awards is providing funding and education resources to help establish and enhance pollinator gardens.  Non-profit, tax-exempt public organizations are encouraged to apply for up to $1500 in funding for community gardens and greenspaces.  The application period is January 1 - February 19, 2016.  Award recipients will be announced in April.

Goals of the program include:
• Creating positive community influence and impact
• Involving area youth
• Promoting health and wellness
• Donating harvest yields
• Committing to sustaining or growing the project
