Gardener’s Supply Company founded their company on the premise that gardens change lives. They nourish the body, elevate the spirit, and build community. More than ever, after a year of incredible suffering and hardship caused by Covid-19, the world needs more gardens. So they are doubling down on our efforts, by pledging more donation dollars and volunteer hours, to do exactly that. Learn more about Harvest Hope.

Youth Gardening: CULTIVATING NEW GENERATIONS OF GARDENERS AND EARTH STEWARDS
With interest in sustainable agriculture and a concern for our planet’s health on the rise, we believe it’s more important than ever to encourage and support young gardeners. Here are some of the ways we help get kids excited about getting outside and growing everything from fruit, to flowers, to food for their communities.
KidsGardening.org
For the last 40 years, KidsGardening.org has been changing kids’ lives through gardening. Supporting a wide community of parents and educators, KidsGardening improved the lives of 2.6 million kids in 2020! As part of the 2021 #HarvestHope campaign, they are pledging $30,000 to KidsGardening so that kids everywhere can have access to garden education at school. Your donation could help them make an even greater impact. DONATE TO KIDS GARDENING. KidsGardening.org has been engaging kids’ natural curiosity and wonder, promoting joy and healthy habits, and connecting to nature through gardening since 1982. Through various funding streams, Gardener’s Supply helps KidsGardening connect educators and families, provide garden grants and gardening-related curricula, and cultivate a community of practice.
The Green Thumb Challenge
The Green Thumb Challenge is a nationwide Green Education Foundation initiative and grant program, designed to help sustain exceptional youth garden projects that have impacted the lives of kids and their communities. Gardener’s Supply is proud to offer support by way of funding and product donations.
Kids Club
Youth who live close to either our Williston, VT, and Lebanon, NH, garden centers, can join the Kids Club and learn about seed-starting, composting, plant care, and more. Created to foster a life-long love of gardening in children, participation in the program builds relationships and confidence, improves motor skills, teaches compassion, and so much more!
