South Carolina Urban, Community and Pollinator Garden Projects
Applications are due by May 4, 2024.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting proposals for cooperative agreements for projects that leverage NRCS resources, address healthy food discrepancies and encourage collaboration between conservation partners to address hunger, health, and local-level beautification through providing technical assistance for the development of demonstration urban, community, and pollinator gardens in South Carolina. Grants will range from $25,000 to $100,000 for a duration of one to three years. Emphasis will be placed on projects that implement innovative, new ways to address small scale garden spaces; utilize climate smart practices, particularly conservation cover, to protect soil health; and develop garden spaces that cater to native and specialty crops.
