Grant Information
The Southlake Perennial Garden Society's purpose is to promote interest in gardening education to our members and the community.
Our grants offer funds to help teachers introduce outdoor learning experiences
to students in our community.
Are you interested in promoting a school garden or gardening project?
Benefits, in addition to developing horticultural knowledge, students learn patience, teamwork, inclusion, problem solving, and develop social skills.
Ideas for projects could include:
Planting a tree such as a red bud tree to observe, draw, and journal the changes through the seasons.
Planting an edible garden to observe the growth of seeds.
Creating a teaching sanctuary with benches and flowers under a tree. This area could be used to talk about science, math, or read poetry.
Establishing a garden to attract butterflies or hummingbirds.
