Entries Invited for Organic School Garden Awards

Deadline: October 31, 2006

School gardens that use organic methods are eligible to enter the Organic School Garden Awards program, sponsored by the Rodale Institute ( http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/ ).

Teams of students and teachers (grades K-12) nationwide are asked to submit an essay and poster that express how they use their school garden as a learning tool, how they use the pro- duce they grow, and what impact it has for the students and community. Any school within the fifty United States with an organic garden may enter the contest.

Three winning schools will receive cash prizes of $250, $500, and $1,000.

Visit the Web site for entry forms, guidelines, and information on previous winners.
