2018-2019 Georgia School Nutrition Foundation School Garden Grants
The Georgia School Nutrition Foundation (GSNF) is happy to announce the winners of the School Garden Grants.
Congratulations to the following schools and programs:
Apalachee High School – Barrow County
GA Department of Juvenile Justice – Eastman Youth Development Campus
Sumter County Primary – Sumter County
West Jackson Elementary - Jackson County
School gardens are a wonderful way to use school campuses as a classroom, reconnecting students with nature and teaching them the value of gardening and agriculture while enhancing their skills and knowledge in math, science, art, health and physical education. In addition school gardens aid in supplementing cafeterias with healthy, self-grown food.
Each of the recipients will receive a $500 grant to help in maintaining their school gardens.
