National Gardening Association and Jamba Juice Invite Schools to Apply for Fruit Trees Grant
Deadline: November 29, 2010

The National Gardening Association is accepting applications from U.S. schools for Jamba Juice “It’s All About the Fruit” grants, which will provide selected schools with fruit trees to create engaging nutrition and gardening experiences.

The grant is open to schools and community garden programs in the United States with at least fifteen children between the ages of 3 and 18. Applications will be evaluated based on plans to promote nutrition education, ideas for incorporating fruit tree activities into the curriculum, and the ability to sustain the program over multiple years.

Twenty recipients will be selected to receive fruit trees valued at $500. Trees will be selected based on recommended varieties for each area.

Visit the NGA KidsGardening Web site for complete application information and materials.
