The Haywood County Master Gardener Volunteer Association is offering grants for research or education in the areas of environment, gardening or horticulture in Haywood County.

The organization raises money through plant sales, as well as sales of its gardening almanac.

Examples of past projects include the demonstration gardens at Hazelwood, Junaluska, and Riverbend elementary schools, a school greenhouse at Bethel Middle School and a drip irrigation system for the bio-technology program at Waynesville Middle.

Applications for grants of $200 or more should be accompanied by a detailed budget and timeline. Deadline is August 31. 828.456.3576.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
