Between Feb. 1 and Aug. 31 2010, GEF (Green Education Foundation) is calling on schools and youth groups nationwide to plant 10,000 classroom and outdoor gardens - the largest youth gardening initiative in history! The Green Thumb Challenge aims to connect kids across the country with the joys and healthy benefits of gardening, providing participants with beginner-friendly resources to plant gardens of any size. Whether sowing seeds during one class period, planting bulbs in one afternoon, or planning an outdoor garden that comes back year after year, you and your students can be part of this exciting event.
All participants receive a $10 off a $50 purchase at Lowe’s, and the opportunity to be awarded a $5,000 grant in recognition of their garden project. Join youth gardening groups across the country and be part of the movement - Sign up for the Green Thumb Challenge Today!
