Welch’s, the processing and marketing subsidiary of the National Grape Cooperative Association, and Scholastic’s Parent & Child magazine have launched the Harvest Grants funding program to help schools across the United States create fruit and vegetable gardens.

K-8 teachers are invited to apply to win one of a hundred Harvest Grants. Entries will be judged by experts at the National Gardening Association, who will select two schools in every state to receive a Welch’s Harvest Grant: Welch’s will award garden packages to the winning schools. Five schools will receive packages valued at $1,000 each; 25 schools will receive $500 packages; and 70 schools will receive $250 packages. Each package will be filled with a variety of tools, seeds, and educational materials that help students connect with nature and better understand the origins of their food supply.

For complete details and official rules, visit the Scholastic Web site.
