Tower Gardens and Harvest Walls are a great way to teach math, English, and science in a classroom. But growing their own food right in their classroom will also teach kids healthy eating habits. Many funding organizations are interested in helping kids learn to eat better.

The first place to start to locate grants for a Tower Garden or Harvest Wall is with your school administration. Let your principal know that you’d like to seek funding for a soil-less gardening system in your classroom. Your principal may know of other teachers in your school who could use one. He or she might also check with school system administration for help locating and writing a grant. Administration might know of other schools in your system that would benefit from having Tower Gardens or Harvest Walls in classrooms. It can be easier to receive funding if school administration is involved and more than just one system is requested.

Below is just a partial list of organizations by state along with national organizations where you can apply for a Tower Garden grant. But your best option might be to do a Google search using your county name and ”health foundation education grant”. You might find a local organization that would be excited to support a Tower Garden or Harvest Wall in your classroom.
