"Budding Botanist", 2021-22 edition

Klorane Botanical Foundation is pleased to support the fifth edition of Budding Botanist Grant. Designed by KidsGardening, this national contest is a great opportunity for American schools to create a school garden.

New criteria from the edition 2021-22

Given the limitations posed by distance and hybrid learning options, applications that propose projects focused on the creation of virtual garden-based learning opportunities or take home gardening kits to better serve students engaged in remote learning are also encouraged and accepted. 

The prize

Each grant recipient will receive $1,000 to spend on the materials needed to install a new or expand an existing school garden. 

This initiative is a way to teach youngest citizens to respect their world and inspire them to take care of the life they discover in their local ecosystems.
