After careful deliberation of the applications, we have selected 22 gardens for our 2021 Gardens for Good grants.
With so many deserving applicants and amazing stories about local community garden impacts, it was challenging to choose only 21 gardens to receive our grants, which is why we added an extra at the last minute! Our 2021 winners are all nourishing communities with their organic gardens in a unique way. We are excited to have this partnership with you and we can’t wait to see how your gardens flourish.
Looking ahead to 2022:
Thank you to all the gardens who applied for Nature’s Path Gardens for Good Grant over the years. We were happy to see all the impactful garden initiatives that are giving communities access to organic food. Thank you for your generosity and hard work! We encourage you check our website often and invite you to apply for the Gardens for Good grant in 2022 once we announce the details.
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
