Our sponsorship selection team aims for diversity and purpose as we choose who will receive the funds. Over the years we’ve selected a wide variety of applicants – from a soothing garden for Alzheimer’s patients, to inner-city food desert gardens, as well as educators establishing student gardens in their local schools.

Meet Some of Our Past Recipients

In March of 2022, as the media sponsor for the Great Grow Along virtual garden festival, Gardening Know How gathered four past recipients for a panel discussion on everything from how the projects began to the biggest roadblocks faced in the process. Watch the full conversation below: In this fifth year of our program, our dedication to community gardening continues to grow and expand. In addition to our financial contribution to 20 gardens each year, Gardening Know How will now offer more information and resources to anyone interested in starting or growing a community garden.   Later this summer we’ll kick off our Community Gardening Speaker series, on our brand new Gardening Know How Learning Channel. The series will be a free online forum where past sponsorship recipients will offer a wealth of information about a wide range of community garden projects. And, we will be adding a Community Gardening content hub to our site, as well as other related news to be announced throughout the year. Sign up for our newsletter to ensure you receive all this great – and free – information. We at Gardening Know How encourage anyone who may be involved with a community or school garden, or even those who have a great plan to start one, to submit an application, tell us your story, and let us consider your garden for the Gardening Know How 2022 Community & School Sponsorship Program.
