When kids have access to edible gardens, a lot of good can grow. They try new foods. They get excited about healthy choices. They get rooted to real food. Imagine if more kids had that chance.

We’re thrilled to announce we're awarding $1.75 million in Whole Kids Garden Grants! That’s 583 new garden grants — each worth $3,000! These grants will support more than 290,000 students in 50 U.S. states, Washington D.C., and 9 Canadian provinces.

Whole Kids Foundation helps kids learn to love fresh, nutritious, whole foods. 

Our approach connects kids with food, sparks their curiosity and inspires them to make healthier choices. Given the right opportunities like planting a seed, helping in the kitchen and trying new foods, kids will get excited about fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains and other wholesome foods.

We believe that small changes at mealtime can add up to lifelong healthy eating habits. If you’re wondering where to start, we’ve made it easier with three simple guidelines that work for kids, and really, anyone.
