The Mantis award if we win gives us a tiller which is critical for maintaining our raised beds. Since we have trees in the garden the rots continue to find their way into the beds making it very difficult to grow food. The tiller can churn up the roots keeping our soil loose. The kids do not have the power to pitch fork that deep therefore our productivity is undermined.

This grant may be used to support a new garden, or they may enhance an existing garden. The purpose of this grant is to provide you with the resources you need to use school gardens to teach conservation science and engage students in understanding the value of nature. The grant is specifically targeted towards grades 5-9. Schools with these grade levels are preferred, but not required. > More information about Nature Works Everywhere gardens: These gardens connect students to a global challenge - to protect the natural systems that produce our food, water, clean air and energy. They are also spaces where students, teachers and families can learn about conservation science while spending time outdoors. A Nature Works Everywhere garden does the following: creates a living system, filters water, provides habitat for pollinators and other wildlife, reduces carbon footprint through food production, improves soil, and engages the school (and wider) community in educational activities that focus on urban environmental stewardship. > <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">Annie’s offers Grants for Gardens donations to schools and other educational programs that help build school gardens.
