Hy-Vee Community Garden Grants January 24, 2014 Community gardens are one promising way to increase access to healthy, nutritious food in cities and towns across Iowa. Hy-Vee is awarding “One Step Community Garden Grants” to organizations whose core focus teaches those in need about health and nutrition through the process of planting, tending and harvesting their own fruits and vegetables. Grants will not exceed $750 per garden. More information about community gardening is available through several organizations, including Cultivate Iowa, a statewide initiative promoting the benefits of food gardening and produce donation.
