Grants Designed to Boost Gardening and Environmental Projects in Henry County
The Henry County Master Gardeners Extension Volunteers (HCMGEV) has created two funding opportunities for individuals and organizations dedicated to educating and engaging youth and adults in sustainable gardening, horticulture, and environmental stewardship. Through these grants, HCMGEV aims to boost community participation in gardening and environmental projects that enhance quality of life and strengthen connections with nature.
“Both the Community Projects Grant and the Green Henry Grant are powerful tools for cultivating a sense of community, health, and respect for the environment,” says HCMGEV President Dawn Washington.
HCMGEV provides many opportunities throughout the year to promote gardening and education to the community, including an MG Sprouts program at local libraries, an Arbor Day Plant Giveaway, and maintaining the Gardens at Nolan House in Heritage Park. These new grant opportunities are a way for the organization to do more. “Whether you’re starting a garden in a local school to teach kids about where their food comes from or beautifying a public space with pollinator-friendly plants, these grants encourage everyone to dig in (quite literally!) and make Henry County a greener, healthier place to live.”
The grants are funded through an annual spring plant sale additional fundraisers, and donations from members and others in the community. We will host two grant cycles in 2025. The application period will open March 15.
