Usage of Funds
Funds may be used for development of, or ongoing support for school gardens, including materials for garden beds, sheds, paths, or watering systems; tools, seeds, plants, soil, mulch; instructional materials; and labor.
Application Period
Any teacher who has a project ready may contact us anytime. Awards will be paid directly to the school principal.

Initial grant up to $500; further funding depends on the project’s outcome and plans for sustainability and ongoing success. Unused funds must be returned to Floretum after one year, unless approved for a continuing project.
Reporting
The Grant recipients must submit a report following the project. This should include details about students, teachers, parents, administrators, and community partners involved and objectives achieved (or not achieved). We encourage stories and photos, which will not be made public without permission.
Floretum’s School Garden Grants are meant to support teachers, parents, students, and administrators in developing gardens on school property to enhance student learning.
Any Edmonds School District administrator, teacher, or designated representative. A school administrator must sign off on the project. Schools with existing gardens may also apply.
