Support Gahanna Learning Gardens!
The Gahanna Learning Garden (GLG) project has entered the Seeds of Change� Grant Program for an opportunity to receive one of two grants worth $20,000. Show your support by following the prompts at
http://seedsofchangegrant.com.
The first learning garden will be installed at the Old Schoolhouse located on the grounds of Lincoln Elementary. Other Gahanna schools, including Jefferson Elementary and Middle School South are also planning gardens.
Grants will be awarded to organizations that help support and develop sustainable, community-based gardening and farming programs that focus on teaching people where their food comes from and the delicious ways it can end up on your plate.
From now through April 21, visitors will have an opportunity to vote once per day for the organization they feel most deserves a grant based on the organization's demonstration of how the grant would help it to achieve its goals. After voting closes, the top 50 organizations with the most votes will move on to a final judging phase, after which the grant recipients will be announced on or about May 5.
