The Florida Wildflower Foundation Seeds for Schools program provides Florida native ecotype wildflower seeds for school gardens statewide. The program uses the gardening activities that result to achieve three overarching goals.
Program Goals
- Increase children’s awareness of the environmental, historical and cultural significance of Florida’s unique flora and fauna.
- Get children outside to discover nature.
- Help students achieve state academic standards.
In May 2011, 50 grants were awarded for fall wildflower gardens (download a list of 2011-12 grant recipients). Grants include seeds as well as classroom and garden resources. The Foundation also contributes staff expertise. Seeds for the project are provided by the Florida Wildflower Seed and Plant Growers Association.
