Teachers can apply for grants up to $100 from the Master Gardener organization to teach horticultural practices and principles. To date, twenty-six teachers have been provided a total of $2,397 in the past four school years. The process begins with a school grant application sent in the fall to all county schools. Interested teachers complete the application that includes objectives, the educational value of the project and the cost of materials to complete the project. A committee of Master Gardeners reviews the applications and submits their recommendations on which applications should be funded to the entire organization’s membership. Those applications are approved and the teachers are notified if their applications have been successful or not. One or two Master Gardeners are assigned to each project as a resource. They are available to assist the teacher in completing the project if needed. Teachers are expected to share their results of the project with the Master Gardeners by the end of the school year. Examples of projects and topics funded by the Master Gardeners have included establishing a butterfly garden, purchasing grow-lights to conduct experiments on fertilizer and light, raising a pizza garden, growing vegetables in raised beds, conducting field trips to orchards and greenhouses, purchasing butterfly kits and starting a Junior garden club. Teachers have integrated the horticultural activities into their curriculum. As a result of these grants, students in twenty-six classrooms have learned about horticultural principles and practices in an active and practical manner. Funding for the grants has been raised from bus trips and a unique activity called Earth to Art that combines pottery and flowers.
