I understand that students participating in the school garden grant project must be given a pre and post test from at least one FAITC school garden lesson and results must be included in the final report. *

With a budget of $500, list below each item you will purchase with this grant, and the cost of said item. Approved items to purchase are seeds, soil, plants, fertilizers, raised bed materials, greenhouse materials, irrigation/watering systems and gardening tools. *

Even if students will be designing and budgeting this garden project, we still need an itemized budget from the teacher to give FAITC an idea of the scope of project.

Detailed timeline of your project throughout the school year. Outline how you plant to accomplish your project, include garden preparation, lessons, planting, harvesting, etc. *

A detailed timeline shows FAITC that you have thoroughly thought through the entire garden project. Include what you will do each month to ensure the project's success.

List at least one new plant you will plant in your garden this school year that you have not planted before. *

A requirement for this grant is to record the number of students trying new fruits and vegetables. I understand that I must take a survey of my students at the beginning of the garden project. I will ask students how many have eaten the plants planted in our school garden and then survey again at the end of the year to find out if the amount has increased. *

List any in-kind donations (donated time, discounts or donated items) you will be receiving for this project.

I understand that because of food safety concerns no animal waste shall be used in the school garden containing edible plants. *

I understand that a final report is due online to FAITC no later than May 19, 2023. Signed copies of photo release forms must be included for every student whose face is shown in photo. School release form is sufficient. *
