The Discovery Garden relies on Seeds of Change, a leading producer of sustainably grown organic seeds and nutritious organic foods. The seed-to-plate brand is committed to helping people create healthier and greener communities. They deliver an annual grant program that benefits school and community gardening and farming programs in the United States based on the value of food, farming, sustainability and nutrition education.
Through the donation of a percent of net sales, this year Seeds of Change will award $310,000 in grants to 24 garden projects around the country.
To vote, the Seeds of Change Grant Program website can be accessed at seedsofchangegrant.com. Individuals can vote once per day from now through April 19.
