[Scpg] Anybody have any leads on school garden grants?

[Joan Stevens]

Hey all,  I put together an order for my school garden and was then informed 
that the grant I was ordering from had only been partially funded.  I'm looking 
for another $400 to make up the difference in all the supplies we need.  

Do you have any good leads on sources of funding for school gardens?  
What I was looking to buy (all from gardeners.com) was a few soil scoops, a 
couple raised bed kits (3x 6), some swivel and flexi connectors for building 
bamboo trellises, a couple willow trellises, tomato cages, and 
biodegradable netting for the trellises.  

Would love any advice you have to offer.
thanks,

 "There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We 
must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our 
young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, 
clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from 
hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even 
if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is 
enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the 
very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and 
shelter."
