The 2020 Grants program has received record entries with over 450 entries from 265 schools.
Like many others in these difficult times, schools are realising the important role that gardening and school gardens have to offer their students.
The VSGP Advisory Committee now has the difficult task to access the many grant applications received to choose the successful schools.
With so many school applying for the 56 available grants this year, it has been decided that some extra funds will be contributed from the budget to create Merit Grants for schools who have score well, yet missed out due to the high quantity of entries this year.
