Educational Grants
The Bristol Garden Club has established an educational grant program to benefit Bristol and Warren youth. Grants are specifically targeted to support programs and projects which stimulate and sustain young people’s interest in and appreciation of plants, nature, and the environment.
​
Each year, the Bristol Garden Club will award up to a total of $1,500.00, to be divided among multiple recipients, based upon quality of applications and amount sought.
​
The Bristol Garden Club's 2025 grant receipts included:
-
Colt Elementary School, where kindergartners turned unused courtyard into a garden/learning space.
-
Blithewold Manor used funds to purchase and equip backpacks for their summer nature program.
-
Mount Hope Farm used funds to support the Farm's Camp Wetu.
-
Franklin Court Independent Living has a community garden which supplies seniors with fresh vegetables and physical activity. The funds were used to cover the cost of soil, seeds, and to make repairs to the raised beds.
