NGB accepting applications for therapeutic garden grants

National Garden Bureau (NGB) recently announced it is now accepting 2023 therapeutic garden grant applications. Sponsored by NGB and its members, American Meadows, Ball Horticultural Co. and Sakata Seed America, $7,500 is available and will be divided among the five gardens chosen, with graduated amounts going to the first, second, and third-place contestants, as determined by online voting.

First Place (based on number of votes): $3,000
Second Place (based on number of votes): $1,500
Three (3) Third Place awards: $1,000 each

Each year, National Garden Bureau’s judging committee selects five Therapeutic Gardens to be the recipients of a grant that will help the organization expand or perpetuate their initiatives. Those chosen will then compete via a social media voting contest by submitting a one minute video featuring the gardens’ operations for a first place, second place and three runners up financial prizes. They will also be featured on National Garden Bureau’s website for national exposure.

The deadline for application is July 1. Additional program details can be found here.
