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 2024 grant receipts included:
1. Franklin Court residents accept a grant to help restore and improve vegetable and fruit gardens for low-income residents.
2. The grant to Blithewold Manor helped create a children's program designed to stimulate interest in the environment. Connie Ganley accepts the check for the project.
3. Kickemuit Middle School teacher, Jeremiah Ryan, was awarded support for a new Outdoor Learning Zone.
4. Mt. Hope Farm's Katie Blase accepted funds to support the Farm's Camp Wetu.
2025 winners will be announced in May.
