Elizabeth has found a great program offered by Fiskars where they award up to $1,500 in Fiskars Garden Tools and up to $800 in gardening-related materials to:
"Gardens and/or gardening projects geared toward community involvement, neighborhood beautification, sustainable agriculture and/or horticultural education are eligible. Community garden groups, as well as schools, youth groups, community centers, camps, clubs, treatment facilities, etc. are encouraged to apply. Only group applications will be considered; single individuals are not eligible for a Project Orange ThumbSM grant. This is not a contest or sweepstakes."
We will be brain-storming about what each of us can do to assist in putting together this grant application. Everything is due by February 15th. They also say:
"Use words, pictures, video, art, music, whatever is most "you." If writing is your most expressive form, that's ok. We would like to encourage you to think broadly and creatively.
There are no limits to the creativity of this response. Draw, paint, scrap, sew, tape, glue, tear, print, edit, or film your response to the question. Your artistic talent is not an issue (and will not be judged), so don't sweat it!
Let your creation speak volumes! Of course you can answer both questions - but we aren't providing extra credit. Think outside the box - we aren't setting restrictions.
Be sure to include photos and/or video of the space, people and place that relate to your grant application."
All the details can be viewed at Project Orange Thumb.
