KidsGardening invites applications for 2026 Youth Garden Grants

KidsGardening aims to help kids play, learn, and grow through gardening, and supports educators and families with grant funding, original educational resources, inspiration, and community to get more kids learning through the garden.

KidsGardening invites applications for its 2026 Youth Garden Grants program. A total of 50 youth garden programs will be awarded $750 each for their program. All grantees will also receive a hand tool set and shovel from AMES and a variety of seeds from High Mowing Organic Seeds.

Organizations must have 15 or more youth between the ages of 0 and 18 participating in its garden program; support, work with, or serve under-resourced communities (those most impacted by systemic inequities and situational hardships); and have received less than $10,000 in grants for their garden program in 2025 to date.

Any organization in the United States or U.S. Territories planning a new or improving an existing garden program is eligible to apply.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the KidsGardening website.

Deadline: December 12, 2025
