At Whole Kids, we know that the more kids know and feel connected to their food, the more curious they become about how things grow or taste, and the more willing they are to try new foods. This is why we believe in edible garden learning spaces!
Our Garden Grant program provides a $3,500 monetary grant to support a new or existing edible educational garden located at a K–12 School in the U.S. or Canada.

We help kids eat better by connecting them to food, sparking their curiosity and inspiring them to make healthier choices. From aquaponics to water conservation, check out some extraordinary things schools are doing with grants from our School Garden and Bee Grant Programs.
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.
Make it a family affair with our Kids Club. We've teamed up with KidsGardening to share at-home gardening activities for kids. Further inspire your kiddos to explore the garden and grow their own food. From making a Seed Viewer to making fruit and vegetable art on your plate, you can find plenty of activities to inspire any young gardener.
