Please Note: Previously awarded programs are not eligible for consideration. Programs must have 501(c)3 status in order to be considered for this grant. Visit the GroMoreGood Garden Grant FAQ to learn more about the grant.

As part of the grant award, Head Start programs will be expected to host a Community Build Day, bringing together Head Start students and families, community partners, and ScottsMiracle-Gro associates (if available) in a day of community service to build and celebrate the garden. Community Build Days should be held during the March through June timeframe and grantees are allowed maximum flexibility given the pandemic evolving into an endemic.
