Floretum Garden Club accepting applications for educational gardening grants - Lynnwood Today

Lynnwood, WALocal News

The Floretum Garden Club is now accepting applications for educational gardening grants, offering up to $1,000 for the 2025-2026 school year. These grants are available to schools in the Edmonds School District and are designed to support projects that foster gardening education. The club's initiative aims to cultivate a love for gardening and environmental awareness among students. Schools interested in applying should act quickly, as funding is limited. This program not only enriches the educational landscape but also promotes community involvement in environmental stewardship.

Last year, several schools successfully implemented gardening projects funded by these grants. The Floretum Garden Club encourages applications that demonstrate creativity and educational value. This funding opportunity represents a significant investment in the future of local education.
