The Garden Club of Concord is seeking proposals from local organizations and residents seeking funding for gardening-related community projects.
Each year the GCC sponsors a range of projects intended to support the preservation, restoration, and development of gardens and the natural environment of the Concord community.
Organizations recently benefiting from a GCC grant include Concord Land Trust, Gaining Ground, Minuteman ARC, Orchard House, Concord Museum, Concord-Carlisle High School, and Concord’s Gold Star Families.
The Club’s grants program is funded entirely by proceeds from its annual May plant sale.
A grants committee meets each fall to review proposals and make recommendations to the membership for formal approval. Efforts to include native plants are especially appreciated. Whenever possible the Club avoids funding labor costs and non-plant material.
Details and applications are available at gardenclubofconcord.org. The deadline for applying is October 16.
