This year, the Victorian School Garden Program received a significant increase in the number of grant applications, with a total of 810 applications from 386 schools and kindergartens. That’s a whopping 270 more applications than last year! The VSGP Committee was thrilled to see so many remarkable applications, and it certainly made the job of reviewing and assessing each of the proposed garden projects quite the challenge.
We are delighted to announce that this year, the VSGP will distribute $44,000 worth of grants to 67 successful schools to contribute to their school garden projects, in the form of nursery vouchers or garden products. The VSGP Committee is incredibly proud to support such inspiring projects and look forward to seeing these gardens come to life over the next year.

The vision and effort each school and kindergarten put into their proposed garden projects highlight the importance of green spaces in our educational environments and the wonderful benefits they bring to our children and communities.
We wish could we provide all entrants the opportunity to fulfil their proposed garden project and thank those unsuccessful applicants for their efforts. We hope all schools continue to nurture our children’s education through outdoor leaning and wonders of gardening.
