Beginning with 50 awards in 1982, KidsGardening’s Youth Garden Grant is the oldest and longest-running award of its kind.

This award is designed to support under-resourced school and youth educational garden projects that enhance quality of life for students and their communities.

With a gift of just $20 today, KidsGardening can reach 100+ more children with the Youth Garden Grant.

Please make a gift now!

In 2025, the Youth Garden Grant awarded 50 programs and reached nearly 13,000 youth in 31 states and territories across the country!

Gardening engages kids’ natural curiosity and wonder, gets them outdoors and moving their bodies, and offers endless options for hands-on learning.
