Thank you to all the gardens who applied for Nature’s Path Gardens for Good Grant. With so many deserving applicants and amazing stories about local community garden impacts, it was challenging to choose only 22 gardens to receive our grants. We are excited to have this partnership with this year’s winners and we can’t wait to see how the gardens flourish.
Plant it Forward®
We are constantly inspired by the incredible organizations that have won our Gardens for Good grants in the past. They are making big change in their local communities, and it is a true privilege to support them and further their work.
Past Grant Recipients
Each of these remarkable organizations shares our vision to provide organic food for those who might not have access to it, and we are honored to have them as partners to make change, plant it forward®, and leave the earth better than we found it.
