2023 People’s Garden Program Applications to Open January 31.
Funding is available for organizations to build and maintain a garden or high tunnel on their site through The People's Garden program. $8,411 is available per project. Applications will open on January 31.
A program which empowers local partners to install community gardens or high tunnels within each of the Rhode Island Conservation Districts (Eastern, Southern, & Northern).
Community gardens help to support resilient, local food systems, nurture habitat for wildlife, create greenspace for neighbors, and teach people how to garden using conservation practices.
This project is funded by an agreement between the RI State Conservation Committee (RISCC) and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA NRCS). The winning organizations can purchase supplies to build their new community garden or high tunnel.
