Local garden projects receive $15,225 in AAF&G support
Since 1946, Ann Arbor Farm & Garden has raised and distributed more than $600,000 in grants and scholarships to support and promote local garden-related projects and programs. With funds raised from our annual June Garden Walk, we’re pleased to help others create, maintain, and grow healthy, beautiful green spaces for everyone to enjoy. Our 2018-19 grant cycle recently ended with the following awards made to these worthwhile programs:
Washtenaw County Youth Center/4-H Master Gardeners: $1070, for continued operation and expansion of onsite gardens
Ypsilanti Community Schools: $3000, for school garden creation/expansion at multiple locations
Greenview/Pioneer Nature Area: $3005, for managed burns this spring at the Central Meadow and the Pioneer Prairie to control invasive woody shrubs and restore wildlife habitat
Food Gatherers: $1650, for their Seedling Initiative, which provides free vegetable and herb seedlings to organizations that pledge to donate more than half of their harvest to hunger relief
Campus Farm at Matthaei Botanical Gardens: $3500, for plants (pollinator, fruit trees, edible)
U-M Biological Station graduate scholarship: $1500
U-M SEAS undergraduate scholarship: $1500
