The Garden Club of Concord is soliciting proposals from local organizations and residents seeking funding for gardening-related community projects.
Each year, the Garden Club sponsors a range of projects in the Concord community. Past grants have funded planting projects at the Old Manse, the Concord Housing Authority and The Umbrella Community Arts Center. Grants have also supported organizations engaged in the preservation of open space and the environment in Concord. In addition, the Club supports outreach to citizens through nature and horticulture; Gaining Ground and Minute Man ARC for Human Services. The Cooperative Elder Services have received past grants for garden-related educational and therapeutic programs.
Funding for all grants is provided by the Club’s annual Spring Plant Sale which is open to the public.
To request a grant application or for more information, please contact Andrea Meyers at ameyers.garden@gmail.com, or 781-799-0387. Applications are due by October 12, 2018.
