PLG Garden Planner Submission — Captain Planet Foundation

PLG Garden Planner (1)

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.

Delivery Information

Front Desk Contact/Delivery Contact(Required)

Please provide the cell phone number (not school phone number or extension) for the front desk contact or main point person you'd like to handle deliveries. To deliver your garden soil, we need to provide a mobile phone number where the delivery driver will be able to reach someone during delivery hours and give a 30-minute heads up for delivery. Delivery hours are 6 AM to 8 PM, potentially outside of school hours, so a school phone number will not be sufficient. *Please note that the front desk contact or delivery recipient does not need to be present on-site when delivery occurs, just able to answer the call to confirm readiness and exact delivery location on campus. We will not use or contact this cell phone number for any reason outside of this one-time soil delivery.

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.
