On Friday 1 March our Grant and Award Programs were launched and are now open for entries.
The two programs will distribute a combined $90,600 worth of vouchers and products to Victorian schools this year!
Grants Program
The VSGP Grants Program encourages schools to start new gardens or repair existing gardens by providing funding through nursery vouchers or provision of products to use for school garden projects.
This year there is over $44,000 worth of vouchers and products to be distributed.
Applications are now open and close on Friday 26 April 2024 at 5 pm.
Awards Program
The VSGP’s Awards Program recognises and rewards the achievements of students and school communities in their gardening endeavours.
Gardens don’t necessarily need to be big or beautiful to enter but should promote the engagement of students in practical activities which foster learning, wellbeing and community pride.
The Awards Program has over $46,600 worth of prizes for schools and launches early in the year to allow schools to target their garden project to Award categories and maintain records of their progress throughout the year for their entry presentation/s.
Applications are now open and close on Friday 13 September 2024 at 5 pm.
The Victorian Schools Garden Program would like to thank our 2024 sponsors, as we couldn’t continue to provide schools with grants and award prizes if it wasn’t for their support.
