PLG Garden Planner

Project Learning Garden Planner

This Garden Planner provides a template for your team to record information about how you plan to implement Project Learning Garden. It will help to identify your team members in advance, and gather contact information for anyone you plan to list as garden team members. Please be sure to secure approval from your school or district's Facilities team before planning your garden installation. We highly recommend including your site's Facilities Manager in your planning discussions.

Grant Details
If you do not currently have a garden on campus, Project Learning Garden (PLG) will supply 5 raised garden beds with soil. If your school already has a garden on campus, you will be offered a $500 credit to Gardener's Supply. This credit will increase to $625 by working directly with our partner there. Gift cards are only available to schools with gardens already installed on campus. If you have a garden on campus and wish to expand your existing garden, you may request the raised beds instead of the gift card.
