Mini-Grants for Teachers
Edmonds Schools & Non-profits
We want to support Edmonds schools and non-profits with gardening and horticultural projects.
Note: We have closed the grant application process for 2024!
Edmonds in Bloom is excited to offer
small grants to schools and nonprofit organizations in support of creating gardens for kids in the greater Edmonds area. This grant is focused particularly on teachers and para teachers who might otherwise pay out-of-pocket for their classroom garden project expenses. The grant should be used for instructional materials, tools, seeds, plants, and planting materials. If you are an educator or are participating in a non-profit that focuses on gardens and kids within the Edmonds School District boundaries, you may apply for these grants of $50-$100.
Questions? Send us an email .
For larger garden projects exceeding $100, please visit our page 'Edmonds School Project Grants'.
Recipients
Sherwood Elementary School has a new look! PE Teacher Pamela Thain and her students took to the grounds for an Earth Day cleanup and flower-planting project. Pamela notes, “I want them to learn how to garden and take pride in their work to beautify our school. Gardening is an amazing workout and a wonderful lifelong skill to participate in.” EIB was thrilled to provide funds for this project through our Mini-Grants for Teachers. Go kids!
