The Grants program is designed to provide seed funding to schools to establish new gardens or repair existing garden in their schools. It is the VSGP’s belief that all schools should be encouraged to consider their grounds and outdoor learning as an important part of their student’s education.
School gardens make interesting and involving outdoor classrooms. By establishing and/or expanding the green environment in schools (no matter what the size whether it is a vertical garden in a small space or a grand project of the entire school grounds) not only improves the aesthetic appearance but can make an exciting outside learning environment with greater benefits of student health and wellbeing. By involving students in the process helps them to take ownership, pride and care of the space.
The Grants program has a variety of Grant categories to enter with nursery vouchers and garden product prizes for schools to receive and are open to all State Government, Catholic and Independents schools across Victoria.
The 2023 Grants will open on the Wednesday 1st March and close on Friday 28th April at 5pm.
