Texas Farm Bureau Announces Learning From the Ground Up Garden Grant Recipients for 2026-2027
By Shelby Shank Field Editor
Forty-five schools across Texas have been awarded $22,500 in total for their innovative projects aimed at enhancing agricultural literacy and awareness.
“These grants provide valuable learning experiences that connect students directly with agriculture,” said Carson Read, TFB Education coordinator. “By integrating gardening into various subjects, teachers can bring agriculture to life in the classroom and foster a deeper understanding of its importance.”
The projects include:
- Establishing and improving school gardens, raised beds, greenhouses, and outdoor classrooms.
- Hands-on learning opportunities about agriculture and food production.
The recipients of the 2026-2027 garden grants are:
- Reeves Hinger Elementary School, Randall County
- Thomas Tolbert Elementary School, Dallas County
- Peters Colony Elementary School, Denton County
- ... (and 41 other schools listed as per the original text)
The next application process will open in the summer of 2027.
