To date, hundreds of community projects have received GRO1000 funding, including 43 community gardens in Canada.
Partners include Communities in Bloom, Plant a Row · Grow a Row and Nutrients for Life.
The grants range from $500 to $1,500.
New in 2016 is “The Pollinator Promise,” which is a yearlong effort from Scotts Canada and ScottsMiracle-Gro to improve consumer education about pollinators and to promote the creation of backyard and urban habitats where they can thrive.
