KidsGardening.org Launches 2025 Youth Garden Grant, Seeks New Sponsors to Grow the Next Generation of Gardeners

Burlington, VT - November 26, 2024 - As the days grow shorter and the gardening season begins to wind down, KidsGardening.org is gearing up for its most exciting time of year: the 2025 Youth Garden Grant program. Starting November 18, 2024, applications opened for this prestigious award, marking the 43rd year of the program that empowers kids to play, learn, and grow through gardening.

The Youth Garden Grant is the longest-running initiative of its kind, shining a spotlight on both emerging and established youth garden programs. Whether it's a new garden ready to bloom or an existing one eager to expand its impact, this program is designed to help educational leaders create transformative green spaces that foster growth - both in the garden and in the hearts of young participants.

Sponsorships Available: Grow the Movement! KidsGardening is calling on like-minded sponsors to help fuel the growth of this impactful program. Sponsors receive broad recognition through email outreach to 70,000+ subscribers and social media exposure to over 25,000 followers. Your brand will be celebrated as a champion of youth development, environmental stewardship, and community building. With a sponsorship, your contribution helps enrich the lives of children nationwide - from the ground up.

Partner Voices: "Helping kids connect with nature and learn the peace and joy of gardening is a no-brainer." says Sarah Boonstra of Bluestone Perennials. "We are honored to support KidsGardening, a cause that truly grows with every partnership."

In 2024, the Youth Garden Grant awarded 50 programs, directly reaching 13,000+ youth across 29 states. This year's grants will continue that tradition, impacting the lives of thousands more children and giving them the tools to become future environmental leaders.

Sponsorships Help Make a Big Difference: For just $1,000, your sponsorship will help us reach 600 more kids through the Youth Garden Grant, providing them with resources, education, and hands-on gardening experiences. Every dollar counts - and the ripple effect of your support is profound.

A Passion for Growing Tomorrow's Leaders: "We believe gardening is a pathway to fostering curiosity, creativity, and community," says Paula Douer, President of Crescent Garden. "We're proud to partner with KidsGardening to ensure that every child has access to the transformative power of gardening."
